Description:

The Ph.D. and M.A. Program in Political Science at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York invites applications for a senior political scientist of distinction who specializes in Contemporary Political Theory or International Relations with special reference to transnational and global issues. We are particularly interested in scholars who approach issues of diaspora and globalization from an interdisciplinary perspective and who specialize in one or more of the following issues: human rights, social justice, multiculturalism, ethics or democratic theory.

The Graduate Center, which is the Ph.D.-granting institution of CUNY, is devoted to advancing original research and training graduate students in over 30 fields in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. This position is part of one of The Graduate Center’s three multi-disciplinary initiatives in the Study of Religion, Science Studies, and Globalization and Social Change. We expect that during the next three years this initiative will result in the hiring of six scholars (in both the humanities and social sciences) doing groundbreaking interdisciplinary work in Globalization and Social Change.
