The School of International Service (SIS) at American University (AU) invites applications for six full-time, tenure-line positions to begin August 1, 2015.  Applicants should possess a Ph.D. or the highest equivalent degree in a relevant discipline by August 2015.

We seek scholar-teachers whose work is theoretically grounded, empirically tested, and policy relevant. Candidates should demonstrate excellence in research and teaching and a commitment to university service.  Candidates should also share the School’s commitment to diversity.

Salary and benefits are competitive.  Review of applications will begin September 15 and will continue until the position is filled.  To apply, follow the links associated with a position below.

•	Economics (1 Assistant Professor):  We are specifically interested in candidates with a research emphasis in international economics (trade or finance) to advance AU’s agenda in global financial and economic governance.  Additional research interests in applied fields such as development, environment or energy issues would be welcome in order to create synergies with other economists at SIS and AU. The successful candidate will be expected to teach core international economics courses at the undergraduate and the MA levels.  To apply, visit apply.interfolio.com/25404, and submit a letter of application, curriculum vita, three letters of recommendation, recent teaching evaluations (when possible), and copies of recent published papers or working papers.

•	Emerging Powers (1 Assistant Professor):  Candidates for this position will advance the School’s collective research efforts on governance—global, regional, national, and subnational—and on regional and rising global powers. The following countries and regions are of particular interest:  East Asia (in particular China), Africa (in particular South Africa), and Turkey.  This list is not exclusive, however, and candidates whose research fits the search criteria are welcome to apply.

•	Global Health (1 Assistant Professor):  We seek an innovative scholar of global health to join our group of scholars focused on the intersection of social science and public health.  Candidates who study the social, political, and environmental factors that influence health and the spread of disease, including cross-cultural patterns of the diffusion of health-related phenomena, are particularly welcome.  A history of external grant funding will be looked upon favorably, as will those with backgrounds in medical anthropology or health economics.

Possible areas of expertise include (but are by no means limited to) rural-urban migration; urban governance, infrastructure and planning; globalization and cities; urban security, violence, and conflict; urban health; and urban informality. Geographical focus is open: we are interested in scholarship on cities in the developing world, on cities in countries with higher levels of human development, or that incorporates various forms of comparison across regions and other categories. The SIS faculty consists of a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary orientations; scholars from any relevant social science discipline are encouraged to apply, as are scholars with interdisciplinary backgrounds.

Candidates may be focused on nontraditional security issues including cyber conflicts; conflicts within states or involving non-state actors; and the roles of religion, energy, and/or the environment; or more traditional topics such as interstate war and alliances. As a school that includes a diversity of scholarly disciplines and approaches, we are seeking the best candidates without respect to a particular discipline.
