The Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin seeks to fill a tenured or tenure-track position in the politics of health and health policy, to begin Fall semester of academic year 2022-23. The search is open to scholars of any rank, and the candidate’s field of study may be in political science (any subfield) or adjoining disciplines, so long as their course of study and subsequent research centers on health and politics (e.g., health economics, biostatistics, sociology of health, public health). Please address any questions to John Gerring (jgerring@austin.utexas.edu), chair of the search committee.
The normal teaching load is two courses per long semester (four per academic year). Two courses will be either cross-listed in Government and in the Health and Society program, or offered in the latter program. These may be crafted to suit the candidate’s interests and background. Despite the split teaching load, the candidate will be a full member of the Government Department, though formal affiliation in a cognate department may be possible upon request.
Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching and research, as well as service to the departments of Government and Sociology, the College of Liberal Arts, and the University.
The Department is interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and service.
Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. for appointment as Assistant Professor or expect to obtain it within a year of joining the faculty as Instructor.
The successful candidate will have a strong record of research and teaching.
Application Instructions
Applicants should upload a vita, three letters of recommendation, graduate transcripts, examples of scholarly work, teaching materials, and diversity statement.
Applications must include a diversity statement addressing past or potential contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion through their research, teaching and/or service. In particular, the statement may highlight any experiences working with diverse populations - mentoring activities, research interests, committee service, courses taught, recruitment and retention activities - and describe how their professional skills, experience and/or willingness to engage in related activities would enhance campus diversity and equity efforts.
The department will begin reviewing applications October 15 and continue until the position is filled.
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. UT Austin is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual-career couples and single parents. Position funding is subject to budget availability.
