Public Administration/Public Policy: Disasters, Risk, Emergency Management

The Department of Political Science at the University of South Carolina invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position beginning in August, 2009. Competitive candidates must be able to contribute to the Department’s NASPAA-accredited MPA Program, and to an emerging, interdisciplinary research and teaching effort centered on extreme events. Preference will accordingly be given to candidates with interests in one or more of the following: managerial and political issues and/or policies relating to extreme events, crises, hazards, risk management, emergency management, etc. at any level of government (international, national, state, local); environmental and/or health risks and consequences of hazards or extreme events.

This search is being conducted jointly by the Departments of Political Science and of Geography, although individual candidates will be considered for a tenure-track appointment in only one of these units, not both. We expect the successful candidate to have a Ph.D. in hand (by the time of appointment), evidence of teaching effectiveness, and demonstrated ability to contribute to the research and teaching programs in the Master’s Program in Public Administration in the Department of Political Science, the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute in the Department of Geography, as well as research initiatives and graduate education across the entire campus.

For full consideration, applications must be received by October 1, 2008. Send vitae, three letters of recommendation, teaching evaluations, and samples of published or unpublished research to: Emergency Management Search, Department of Political Science, Gambrell Hall, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208.
