Assistant Professor in Social Sciences (PPE)

Position Description

Yale-NUS College is a highly selective liberal arts college in Singapore. Co-founded by Yale University and the National University of Singapore, the College is committed to excellence in research and teaching in a full residential programme that integrates living and learning. Its curriculum educates students in Asian and Western intellectual traditions as well as current scientific thought. A student body of 1000 undergraduates from over 60 countries engages with 100 outstanding faculty from around the world through small classes and hands-on research. Students and faculty also have access to the wider resources of two world-leading research universities.

The College invites applications for one tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor rank to contribute to teaching and research in the major in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Applicants who work at the intersection of philosophy or politics with economics would be particularly welcomed. We also welcome applicants whose research is empirically oriented.

Applicants should have a relevant PhD and demonstrate an outstanding track record for their career stage.

A clear ability and passion for undergraduate education is essential. The incoming faculty member would join a committed team dedicated to the development and teaching of the Philosophy, Politics and Economics major (see https://ppe.yale-nus.edu.sg/) and Yale-NUS’s flagship Common Curriculum (see http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/curriculum/common-curriculum). 

The appointee will be expected to begin duties in time for the start of the 2021-22 academic year.

Faculty receive internationally competitive salaries and start-up grants as well as a yearly travel and research allowance and are able to access additional funding from Yale-NUS, the National University of Singapore and Singapore’s Ministry of Education. Most faculty qualify for highly subsidized faculty housing. Yale-NUS College is located in Singapore, a multicultural city of six million at the heart of a vibrant region.
