The Department of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University invites applications from outstanding scholars for a tenure-track position in the general areas of environmental, energy, and/or sustainability politics and policy. Rank is open, but appointment at the rank of assistant professor is preferred. The successful candidate will teach both within the department and for CWRU’s Environmental Studies Program. We would like our new colleague to be able to teach about the public policy process, but further teaching and research interests could include any other subfield, including political theory, American politics, comparative politics, and international relations. The normal teaching load is two courses per semester. She or he should also be able to contribute to the College initiative in Sustainability, and perhaps to the university’s Great Lakes Energy Institute. We appreciate scholars with broad interests, and seek excellence in research within the fields of environment, energy and sustainability with no presumptions about the location or political processes or institutions studied.
Case Western Reserve University offers the student quality and class size of a strong liberal arts college, within one of the nation’s major research universities.
