DePaul University's Department of Political Science invites applications for a one-year, non tenure track position at the visiting assistant professor level beginning in Autumn 2010. Teaching responsibilities include introductory thematic courses on Equality, Freedom, and Legitimacy as well as upper level courses focusing on particular traditions and discourses. A serious background in Western political thought will be necessary, but candidates with additional strong interests in non-Western or post-colonial thought would bring desired breadth to our program. Applicants who can also teach courses in a second area (i.e., American politics, international relations) would be helpful. Preference will be given to applications of individuals with demonstrated excellence in teaching.
