Tenure-track Faculty Position in International Relations

 IE University’s School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs (SPEGA) seeks applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in International Relations at the rank of Assistant Professor starting 1 September 2024. We seek candidates addressing substantive questions of broad disciplinary relevance in security, geopolitics, and civil conflict. We are especially but not exclusively interested in candidates whose work addresses European defence, US foreign policy, NATO, and related topics.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the capacity to produce publications in top peer-reviewed outlets (both generalist and field journals) in the coming years, and their research should employ advanced research design and methodological skills. 

All in all, we seek academics with the capacity to engage in policy-relevant work and an overall commitment to institution-building - applying for research grants, participating in affiliated research centers and academic programs, and expanding our current network and partnerships. 

Successful candidates will join the Political Science and International Relations group within SPEGA, which consists of 14 tenured and tenure-track scholars studying comparative politics, international relations, political economy, and political behavior. Recent publications from this group appear in APSR, AJPS, JOP, BJPS, and many other top generalist and field outlets.  

Candidates should have a PhD from a recognized department of political science, international relations, or a related field or demonstrate clear evidence that their PhD will be complete by July 2024. 

The IE SPEGA is part of IE University, located in Madrid and Segovia, Spain, and is a full member of the Association of Professional Schools in International Affairs (APSIA). We are a fast-growing department of professors committed to world-class academic research and teaching in the social sciences, public policy, and international affairs. 

We offer a competitive remuneration package, attractive teaching commitments, and an enriching and cosmopolitan work environment in the heart of Madrid. Our working language is English, and both our faculty and student body are highly diverse and international. 

IE University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and strongly encourages applications from individuals who will expand the ethnic and gender diversity of our faculty. 

Applications should include a cover letter and vita, a job market paper, and three confidential letters of recommendation. 

Candidates may apply via Interfolio by 20 October 2023 using the following link: https://apply.interfolio.com/132073
