A Ph.D. in Global Studies or a related field, such as Anthropology, Political Studies, or History, is required at the time of appointment.

Applications from candidates who are advanced assistant and associate professors are especially welcomed, with the opportunity for accelerated tenure subject to Pitzer’s tenure and review policies.
