The Department of International Relations (IR) at Lehigh University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank in Environmental Security, starting in August 2024. The successful candidate should have an earned Ph.D. in Political Science or related field by the date of employment.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest, CV, writing samples/publications, statement of teaching philosophy, and, if available, evidence of teaching effectiveness to the IR search committee by uploading them to Academic Jobs Online at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25540.

Lehigh is among the few higher education institutions in the US that has long had a separate department of IR. This means that students with a particular interest in international affairs will benefit from a concentrated program of study that few other schools offer. The standard teaching load is 2-2, and the successful candidate will join a department with a strong commitment to both research and undergraduate teaching.
