The Department of Political Science invites applications for a tenure-track position in Black Politics in Canada and/or the United States. Applicants may specialize in Black Politics in one of those countries, conduct comparative research between them, or conduct comparative research that includes at least one of them along with other countries.
We welcome applications from candidates across the full range of political science's theoretical and methodological frameworks and approaches. We further welcome candidates who bridge Political Science and the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary study of Black Politics from fields such as African American Studies, Gender and Feminist Studies, Canadian Studies, American Studies, and Transnationalism and Diasporic Studies, though the appointment will be solely within Political Science.
Appointment is expected to be at the rank of Assistant Professor, but appointment at a higher rank is possible under exceptional circumstances. The position start date is August 1, 2022.
This position is part of a multi-year interdisciplinary initiative designed to strengthen and support research innovation and excellence in African and Black Studies at McGill, while simultaneously addressing the under-representation of Black faculty in the tenure stream, as laid out in the University Action Plans to Address Anti-Black Racism 2020-2025
