Visiting Lecturer, Political Science

Northeastern University

 

The Department of Political Science at Northeastern University is seeking to fill two Visiting Lecturer positions for the 2024-25 academic year. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible appointment on Northeastern’s Boston campus; remote-only candidates will not be considered. The teaching load is six courses for the academic year (three in the fall semester and three in the spring semester).

 

One position is likely to cover the introductory lecture course in American Government, the other introductory lecture courses in either / both Comparative Politics and International Relations. The ability to teach courses in research methods and statistics is a priority in both instances. The opportunity to teach other upper level undergraduate or graduate courses will depend on unit needs. While most courses will be taught on campus, the need to teach an occasional asynchronous online course may arise.

 

Candidates should have demonstrated commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive environments as well as to promoting experiential learning, which are central to a Northeastern University education.

 

Qualifications:

 

• A PhD in Political Science or its equivalent in a related discipline is required by the start date of the appointment.
• Demonstrated teaching experience in some combination of American Government, Comparative Politics, and / or Internationals Relations. Candidates with teaching experience in research methods and statistics will get priority.
• The ability to teach in the asynchronous online modality is a bonus.

 

Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, teaching statement with evidence of teaching effectiveness (such as student evaluations), sample syllabi, a diversity and equity statement, and contact information for three letters of recommendation. Do not ask for letters to be sent.

 

Please address nominations and inquiries about the position to Professor Christopher Bosso, at c.b...@northeastern.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
