Job description

The Provost Office at Ithaca College, in partnership with the Department of Politics, invites applicants for the pre-doctoral Julian Euell Future Faculty Fellowship (JEFFF) for academic year 2027-2028 who have expertise in International Relations, broadly construed. We are open with respect to substantive focus. Special consideration will be given to candidates with regional expertise in East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and/or the Caribbean. Candidates trained in Comparative Politics whose research engages with international politics are also encouraged to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in critical, historical, and/or ethnographic methodologies. The fellowship provides advanced doctoral candidates with meaningful teaching experience and mentorship as they complete their dissertations. Over the course of one year, fellows teach one course per semester, engage in scholarly forums, develop pedagogical skills, and receive professional development to prepare them for successful academic careers.

The Fellowship is non-renewable. It begins on August 16, 2027 and ends on May 31, 2028. Fellows receive a $43,260 stipend, $5,000 in travel/professional development support, relocation reimbursement, office space, health benefits, access to Ithaca College and Cornell University libraries, and a dedicated faculty mentor in their program.

Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited program leading to a Ph.D. degree at a U.S. institution; display evidence of a commitment to a career in teaching at the college or university level; demonstrate a dedication to equitable classroom practices; display evidence of a scholarly agenda; and be authorized to work in the United States.

Candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to minoritized communities in their teaching, service and/or research are strongly encouraged to apply.

Prior to August 15, 2027, applicants must be advanced to candidacy at their home institution, with an approved dissertation proposal. Preference will be given to candidates who are in the last year of dissertation writing and who will most benefit from the opportunity (i.e. those who are actively working to draft and revise their dissertation).

Visa sponsorship is not provided for this position.

Ithaca College is committed to building a diverse academic community and encourages members of underrepresented groups to apply, and the Department of Politics strives to build an inclusive and welcoming community of individuals, with diverse talents and skills from a multitude of backgrounds, who are committed to civility, mutual respect, social justice, and the free and open exchange of ideas.
