Assistant Professor of Political Theory

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. We attract excellent students to our BSocSci and PhD degree programmes and provide them with interdisciplinary training, as well as practical knowledge and skill sets necessary to dissect and address real world problems facing political leaders, policymakers, and the global community.

We seek a dedicated colleague with the necessary skills to collaborate and strengthen PPGA's research programmes and teaching portfolios, as well as commit to relevant administration duties. Personal aptitude will be important for this position.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in political science or in a related field, a strong track record of research commensurate with career stage (e.g., publishing in established peer-reviewed journals in the discipline, securing and managing externally funded research, organising conference panels and workshops) and effective teaching and training of undergraduate and/or graduate students.

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.

  • A PhD in political science or in a related field.
  • A strong research and publication track record commensurate with career stage.
  • Experience and interest in teaching PPGA core modules (undergraduate, graduate).
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal skills, and commitment relevant to teaching, pastoral care, and administering the PPGA Programme.

  • Research and teaching interests that strengthen and expand PPGA's research programmes and teaching portfolios.
