We hope to be able to make an appointment in time for the Fall semester but are open to considering candidates who could start up until January 2022. PPL is a selective interdisciplinary undergraduate major in which fourth year students develop substantial research projects in the context of a capstone seminar. The research associate will preside over this seminar during the spring semester as well as teach one undergraduate course in his or her area of interest.
QUALIFCATION REQUIRMENTS: Applicants must be on track to receive a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Political Science or a related field by summer 2021 and must hold a PhD by June 15, 2021.

A background in jurisprudence or legal theory is also desirable. Candidates should combine strong research potential with commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching.
