Vacancy: Faculty Position in International Relations

The Doha Institute for Graduate Studies invites applications for a full-time, open-rank position on the professorial scale in its Politics and International Relations Program. The Doha Institute is a new independent institution for learning and research in the fields of Social Sciences, Humanities, Public Administration and Development Economics, launched in October 2015. The DI offers internationally competitive salaries and benefits based on rank and experience, and the opportunity of promotion across ranks, subject to performance.

Candidates will have a PhD in one area of International Relations, an excellent research and publication record, and proven teaching experience, preferably at post-graduate level. The successful candidate should be able to teach an introductory course in IR, as well as more specialized courses, and should be well-grounded in international relations theory.

The successful candidate will also be expected to engage in individual and collaborative research, contribute to building the Politics and International Relations Program for the future, collaborate with colleagues across different disciplines, and participate fully in campus academic life.

The appointment is to commence September 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter. The search will continue until the positions are filled.
