Job Description
The Department of Political Science at the National University of Singapore invites applications for the tenure-track position of Presidential Young Professor (PYP) at the rank of Assistant Professor, to commence in 2025. Applications are invited from all major subfields of political science including, but not limited to, comparative politics, international relations, and public policy. We are especially interested in candidates with an Asia-focused research programme.
The NUS Presidential Young Professorship and NUS Presidential Fellowship Awards aim to attract, support, and empower the brightest and most promising young academics in the early stage of their careers so that they can develop themselves into world-class scholars. As a young academic at NUS, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a diverse and dynamic community of scholars and students, to pursue excellence and innovation with a positive societal impact. Successful PYP candidates are awarded a start-up grant package of either SGD 250,000 or SGD 750,000, depending on the demands of their research program. Successful PYP candidates are also granted an award of an additional SGD 250,000 for discretionary spending.
The NUS Department of Political Science is one of the leading global programs, with a vibrant research culture and located in a cosmopolitan hub. It is one of 15 departments within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Southeast and East Asia are geographical areas of departmental strength, but our 20+ faculty members have research interests which range across the subfields of political theory, international relations, comparative politics, and governance and public policy. In addition, the world-renowned Asia Research Institute (ARI) at NUS engages political scientists as part of its interdisciplinary community, as do our many area studies departments. Our department is committed to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion as integral values in our strategic development. We also offer a competitive remuneration package, including housing and relocation benefits for eligible overseas candidates. The typical teaching load is 2:1 (one or two courses per semester, totaling three per academic year).
Interested applicants are invited to apply directly at our NUS Career Portal. Application dossiers should include:
• A brief cover letter explaining why the position at NUS is of interest and discusses the ambition of your research program
• A comprehensive CV with a complete list of publications, awards, grants, and courses taught
• A research statement with a three year research plan
• Two signature publications with the applicant as the lead author
• Letters from at least three referees. If the applicant is two or more years post-PhD, the referees should not be limited to supervisors. The referees should compare the research performance of the applicant to specific individuals at equivalent and top institutions and/or programs.
Review of applications will begin on 30 Sep 2025 and continue until an appointment is made. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. If there are any questions, please email the search committee at
