Assistant Professor of Political Science - 000938

The University of Richmond Department of Political Science invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2025-26 academic year.

The Department seeks to hire a teacher-scholar whose research focuses on Latina/o/x/e politics in the U.S. All methodological and theoretical approaches to Latina/o/x/e politics are welcomed provided they enhance the department's existing areas of substantive expertise. Topics of interest include but are not limited to immigration policy, political behavior, state and local or urban politics, social movements, or identity politics. The successful candidate will be expected to teach either Introduction to American Government or Introduction to Public Policy and to develop new electives in Latino/a/x politics and the areas noted above based on expertise. The position carries a 3-2 teaching load.

Applicants must either hold a PhD in Political Science or show credible evidence that they will complete the dissertation and degree requirements by August 1, 2025.

The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With approximately 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students "to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society."

The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see .

Applicants should apply online at and submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and separate research and teaching statements. The cover letter should provide a brief summary of the candidate's research and teaching interests and describe their commitment to the teacher-scholar model. The research statement should expand on the candidate's research agenda and expertise. The teaching statement should articulate the candidate's teaching philosophy, interests, and future professional development goals, with particular emphasis on involvement in and commitment to inclusive pedagogy. In addition, please include copies of academic transcripts. Candidates for this position may be asked, at a later date, to provide the names and contact information for three references who will be asked to submit letters of recommendation. Review of applications will commence September 20, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.
