Assistant Professor, Migration and Politics

Assistant Professor, Migration and Politics

The Department of Political Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science at Concordia University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the field of migration politics, with a specialization in Canadian politics, public policy or public administration.

The successful candidate will have a research program primarily focused on migration and will demonstrate significant engagement with this field within the discipline of Political Science.

Candidates must have completed a PhD in Political Science, or a related field, by the start date of the appointment. ABD (all but dissertation) candidates will be considered, provided they are expected to complete their degree by that date.

The main criteria for selection are excellence in research and teaching. The successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quality scholarly output that demonstrates the potential for independent research leading to peer-reviewed publications and external research funding. They will also demonstrate strong potential for outstanding teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Candidates are encouraged to share any career interruptions or personal circumstances that may have had an impact on their career goals in their letter of application. These will be carefully considered in the assessment process. The Department values diversity among its faculty and strongly encourages applications from those who will contribute to that profile. Concordia University is an English-language institution of higher learning at which the primary language of instruction and research is English. Since this position supports academic functions of the university, proficiency in English is required. Working knowledge of French, including reading and grading student work in French, is an asset.

Education at Concordia University is delivered largely in person; unless otherwise specified, candidates must be able to fulfil their teaching and service duties in person on campus. Where public health or other circumstances require it, candidates may be directed to provide instruction remotely.
