Assistant Professor of International Studies

The Program in International Studies at Bryn Mawr College, an interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty across the Social Sciences, Humanities and Sciences, invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor position in International Development, broadly conceived, to begin August 1, 2023.  The academic discipline of the applicant is open, but candidates with expertise in international social justice, humanitarianism, or human rights advocacy are strongly encouraged to apply. Close consideration will be given to applicants who are returning to the academy from field experience in international organizations and to applicants who have developed comparable programs at other institutions. Candidates must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by the start date while demonstrating evidence of an established research program and a commitment to undergraduate teaching.

The successful candidate will teach core courses within the International Studies major as well as develop additional core and elective courses within their own area of expertise, and will be expected to be part of developing and teaching a diverse and inclusive undergraduate curriculum that includes interdisciplinary programs and other college-wide initiatives such as the 360 Program and the Emily Balch Seminars.

To apply for this position, candidates must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, research statement, and a statement of demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion to the Program in International Studies Search Committee via Interfolio at: http://apply.interfolio.com/108997. In addition, candidates should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted via Interfolio to the International Studies Program Search Committee. Applications received by November 15, 2022 will receive full consideration.

The College will be as flexible as possible in determining the nature of any interviews or meetings (virtual/remote and/or in-person interaction) that are conducted for this search.
