We seek candidates with research and teaching interests in Political Economy. The position is open with respect to the substantive focus in political economy, broadly defined (e.g., comparative or international political economy, political economy of public/social choice, political economy of development). The position is also open with respect to methodology, though methodological sophistication, such as advanced statistical, experimental, or formal modeling skills, or the sophisticated use of mixed methods is expected.

The School offers a M.A. in Global Affairs and Management in conjunction with the Thunderbird School of Global Management. The School is also developing an undergraduate degree in Political Economy with the Economics department at ASU. The successful candidates will contribute scholarship, teaching and service to advance these programs and the mission of the School of Politics and Global Studies.
