Assistant or Associate Professor in Strategic Studies/International Relations (Tenure-Track/Tenured)

The S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, is seeking to appoint Assistant or Associate Professor in Strategic Studies (2 positions) and Assistant or Associate Professor in International Relations (1 position). Applications are welcome from both early career and established scholars. We are open regarding specific areas of research and teaching specialisation. As the School has previously recruited experts in international relations of China and South Asia, it does not require experts in these areas at the moment.

The successful candidates will be expected to be conceptually and empirically grounded in their own areas of specialisations; to demonstrate an active research and publication agenda; to teach, supervise, and examine in either Strategic Studies or International Relations at the graduate level; to contribute to the administrative work of the School; and to provide teaching and pastoral support to students. 

A relevant PhD and a good publication record commensurate with the level of appointment are essential requirements. Candidates must submit evidence of demonstrated excellence in teaching. If successful, the candidate will teach up to 3 courses per year, including one core course for either the MSc in Strategic Studies (Analysis of Defence and Security Policies or Evolution of Strategic Thought) or MSc in International Relations (Study of International Relations) programme depending on their specialisation. 

To apply for this position, candidates are required to submit their application via Nanyang Technological University’s online application system, by clicking the 'Apply' button. 

All applicants should submit the following:

1. A cover letter specifying how your qualifications match the job description;
