The Department of Political Science at Indiana University-Bloomington invites applications for a full-time tenure track professor in the field of Gender and Politics, beginning August of 2023. Our goal is to hire the strongest candidate available who is doing interesting and important scholarship on questions of gender and politics. This thematic focus may be approached from any subfield or combination of subfields in the discipline including but not limited to American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. This position is at the rank of Assistant Professor.
Candidates should demonstrate broad theoretical interests, active research agendas with the promise for publication in high-quality venues, strong teaching credentials, and proficiency in appropriate research methods. In addition to maintaining an ongoing research program, this faculty member would be expected to teach courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and to participate actively in departmental activities.

We especially encourage applications from members of groups that are traditionally-underrepresented
in academia as we seek to diversify our faculty. Both the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences are committed to building and supporting a diverse inclusive and equitable community of students and scholars.
