The successful candidate will teach an introduction to international relations course each semester, in addition to upper level international or comparative politics courses in their areas of expertise, in consultation with the Chair.

The salary range is $47,500 - $48,750 (M.A.) to $55,250 - $57,500 (Ph.D.). The person hired for this position is eligible to receive full benefits, which can be found here.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Political Science, but we will consider ABDs (with Master's degrees obtained).

Application Instructions

Please electronically submit 1) a curriculum vita, 2) evidence of teaching effectiveness (such as teaching evaluations, if available), and/or sample syllabi for proposed courses if available, 3) a list of three references who could comment on teaching abilities, and 4) a cover letter that explicitly incorporates a clear understanding of the mission of Jesuit higher education and how one will contribute to this mission. The successful candidate will be required to submit copies of official undergraduate and graduate transcripts. Review will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Final compensation offers are determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to, job-related experience, internal equity, and alignment with organizational budget.

Successful candidates for any staff, faculty, or administrative position at Loyola University Maryland will be subject to a pre-employment background check.
