The School of Social Sciences at NTU Singapore invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Public Policy and Global Affairs (PPGA).

The Public Policy and Global Affairs Programme is one of the four major programmes in the School of Social Sciences, together with Sociology, Psychology, and Economics.

Area of specialization within political theory is open, however we particularly welcome candidates who are able to offer courses in non-Western political thought. Ability to teach in a secondary discipline, comparative politics, political economy, or Singapore politics, would also be considered an asset

In addition to developing their own research programme, we expect the successful candidate to contribute to teaching undergraduate and graduate core modules in the PPGA Programme, and modules in their areas of specialisation. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team in administering the PPGA Programme.
