The Department of Politics and Global Citizenship at Baldwin Wallace (BW) University invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in Political Science effective August 2023. Applicants must be committed to undergraduate education and demonstrate the potential for excellence in all facets of a faculty appointment, especially teaching.

The Department welcomes applications from candidates who will build on existing programs and areas of strength in the Department and help us continue supporting interdisciplinary programs on inclusion and social justice at BW. The position is intended to meet and expand curricular needs within the Department; to broaden the Department's experiential learning opportunities; and to contribute to initiatives in the College of Arts and Sciences and to the Baldwin Wallace University's mission of "assisting students in their preparation to become contributing, compassionate citizens of an increasingly global society and encourages their pursuit of personal and professional excellence."

Broadly trained candidates with expertise in political theory or related fields are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will be able to offer courses covering canonical texts in ancient, modern, and contemporary political theory. Relevant teaching and/or professional experience that intersect with questions of race and ethnicity, democratic theory, historically excluded groups, and environmental political thought would be desirable.

A Ph.D. degree in Political Science or a related area by the time of appointment, interdisciplinary expertise, teaching experience in related areas, and willingness to mentor undergraduate students are required. Candidates should demonstrate knowledge and expertise in teaching, advising, and a desire to contribute to the Department's experiential learning opportunities we offer to our student body. The successful candidate will be expected to teach the introductory course in American Government, the entry-level course on democracy and citizenship, and upper-division courses related to the candidate's interests and students' interests. And, as schedule permits, contribute to University's First-Year Seminar (FYS) offerings.

Baldwin Wallace University is a selective liberal arts university on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio. Its Political Science, International Studies, National Security, and Legal Studies programs currently serve approximately one-hundred majors and minors while playing an active role in campus internationalization. BW emphasizes teaching, advising, and service and also encourages and supports scholarship.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter summarizing their interest and qualifications (no more than 2 pages), curriculum vitae, teaching evaluations, other evidence of effective teaching, and contact information for three professional references in one (1) Word or one (1) PDF document and submit via the To Apply link on BW's Employment and Careers' web page at https://www.bw.edu/about/hr/employment/. These documents must be uploaded as a single file at the time of application.

The cover letter must include a statement of interest in Baldwin Wallace, an explanation of the applicant's expertise in political theory in language that would excite undergraduates and faculty who are outside the field, teaching philosophy, a description of relevant teaching experience referencing the course topics mentioned above, a brief description of research on the disciplinary themes mentioned above, and a description of how you would involve undergraduates in experiential learning.
