Description
Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) invites applications for a core faculty position in American Politics, open rank (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor).

We seek candidates who can offer courses in American politics for our undergraduate program. We welcome a range of substantive research specialties, including but not limited to American political institutions, American political processes, American foreign policy, American political thought, race and politics, and gender politics. Ability to teach an undergraduate Scope and Methods course will be an advantage. The successful candidate may also be expected to teach, and play a leading role in, a new MA program in American Studies.

Candidates for assistant professor should show a promising research trajectory, and candidates for Associate or Full professor should demonstrate a research record commensurate with rank. Candidates with a commitment to excellence in inclusive teaching and mentoring and dedication to institutional service and shared governance are strongly preferred. Ability to teach in a multicultural setting is essential. GU-Q has students from 60 countries, all of whom meet Georgetown's rigorous standards for admission but many of whom lack a significant background in American politics.

Core faculty positions are full-time positions designed to replicate the institutional commitment to academic freedom and professional opportunities associated with tenure-track and tenured appointments, in conformity/compliance with Georgetown University's academic governance guidelines and Qatari law.

The teaching load for core faculty is 2-2. Assistant Professors are eligible for a one-semester fully-paid Junior Faculty Research Fellowship, typically taken in the third or fourth year of service at GU-Q. Senior faculty are eligible for a research semester after 6 years of service. GU-Q provides generous research support and support for conference travel.

Compensation is very competitive. It includes an annual summer research stipend for active scholars, amounting to 2/9 of the base salary. The expatriate benefits package includes: fully-furnished high-quality housing, transportation allowance, annual family home leave allowance, health insurance (worldwide coverage), generous private school tuition support for accompanying children, etc. Research active faculty have access to faculty research grants and a generous travel allowance.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names of three scholarly references via Interfolio. Faxed or emailed applications will not be accepted.

Applications should be submitted by October 30 to ensure full consideration, but the positions will remain open until filled. Initial interviews will be conducted virtually to arrive at a final shortlist. Candidates shortlisted will, Covid-regulations permitting, be flown out to GU-Q in for a 3-day visit to present their research and teaching, discover GU-Q and Doha (including options for accommodation and schools where relevant), and get to know our students, staff and faculty.

Queries about the position should be directed to Clyde Wilcox at wilcoxc@georgetown.edu.
