The Political Science Department of the University of Colorado Denver has an opening for a full-time tenure-track Assistant Professor of Comparative Politics/International Relations, to begin in August of 2025.
The CU Denver Political Science Department seeks to sensitize students to the essential questions of politics and life, and to catalyze informed and creative civic engagement in pursuit of a more just and humane world. Beyond its teaching mission, the Department seeks to create, discover, and apply knowledge to improve the health and well-being of Colorado, the nation, and the world. In advancing these teaching, research, and creative activities, the department seeks to build mutually beneficial partnerships that engage local, national, and global communities. Our Political Science Department values interdisciplinarity approaches to teaching, research, and creative activities and our department record of excellence includes playing a key role in college interdisciplinary programs like International Studies and Legal Studies.
We have long hosted the University Fourth World Center for the Study of Indigenous Law and Politics, and the New Directions Center focused on public, non-profit, and community leadership. We have a robust record of engagement in civic affairs, which includes an Urban Citizen service-learning program and a CU at the Capitol legislative internship program.

The University of Colorado Denver Department of Political Science commits to an antiracist mission—to undoing racism and white supremacy in all their forms. The Department affirms that everyone benefits personally, communally, and intellectually from antiracist work, not just people of color. The Department emphasizes that antiracism is the responsibility and privilege of all individuals, albeit in different ways, with different risks and resources, different burdens and opportunities. No one is exempt. We commit to construct and fund meaningful action to advance these values.
The successful candidate will be rostered as a full-time tenure-track assistant professor. This position comes with responsibilities in teaching (40% of time), research (40% of time), and service (20% of time). The teaching load is 2/2 (four courses an academic year), at both the undergraduate and graduate level. This position will be responsible for teaching foundational courses in comparative politics and international studies as well as courses within the candidate’s particular subfield. In addition to advancing the mission of the Political Science Department, the successful applicant will be expected to help support and teach classes relevant to CU Denver’s International Studies major/minor.
Applicants should have areas of expertise in the political economy of the “Global South.” Particular geographic areas of interest are: Latin/South America, South Asia, or Sub-Saharan Africa. We seek to identify candidates with expertise in one or more of the following subfields: International Development, Indigenous Peoples’ Politics, Public Health, Human Rights, Labor and Migration, Colonialism and Neo-Colonialism. The Political Science Department seeks candidates who expand our understanding of how colonialism, settler colonialism, neocolonialism, neoliberalism, globalization and/or militarism affect daily life across the world, and who can highlight the innovative solutions to global and local challenges that are emerging out of traditionally marginalized communities.

Assistant Professor of Public Policy (Criminal Justice), Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy
The Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor with a focus on the criminal legal system. We define the criminal legal system broadly to include, among other things: (1) how and why criminal legal policies have come to be and evolved; (2) how macro- and micro-level policies and practices contribute to rates of—and disparities in—levels of contact with the criminal legal system; and (3) how contact with the criminal legal system affects individuals, families, and communities and how the nature of this contact—the texture of police stops or conditions of confinement, for example—shape the social, economic, and/or political consequences of exposure to the criminal legal system. These are, of course, only some of the ways in which criminal legal policy could be defined, and we are open to other related research areas.
Candidates should be able to teach courses in their substantive areas of interest that also align with the interests of undergraduate and graduate students engaged with public policy. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant social scientific discipline (for example, public policy, sociology, criminology, political science, economics, or demography) and a record of (or demonstrated capacity for) scholarly publication, public engagement, and excellence in teaching.
Duke University and The Sanford School of Public Policy are strongly committed to advancing inclusive excellence throughout our research, teaching, and service activities.

The Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor with a focus on the criminal legal system.

These are, of course, only some of the ways in which criminal legal policy could be defined, and we are open to other related research areas.
Candidates should be able to teach courses in their substantive areas of interest that also align with the interests of undergraduate and graduate students engaged with public policy. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant social scientific discipline (for example, public policy, sociology, criminology, political science, economics, or demography) and a record of (or demonstrated capacity for) scholarly publication, public engagement, and excellence in teaching.
