Western Washington University
The Department of Political Science at Western Washington University invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant/Associate
Professor position in Comparative Politics beginning September 16th, 2026. We seek candidates who can contribute to our course offerings in
any of the following regions: East Asia, Europe/EU, and/or the Middle East. We welcome applicants who combine a regional focus with
comparative or international relations topics, such as security, conflict, nationalism, and party systems, to name a few. The candidate will
be expected to teach two classes per quarter for three quarters; service and research are not required. Across the three quarters, we
envision that candidates will offer one or two courses on regionally specific topics as well as four broader or more general topics that
cross the field of comparative politics (and/or international relations).
The Department, the College, and the University value
teaching and we expect you to be an effective teacher; to be current in your discipline; to engage students actively in their own learning,
including discussion, writing, and analysis; and to maintain high standards regarding course content. We expect you to provide students with
feedback on their course work and examinations, and to be available to students through regularly scheduled office hours. You will be
expected to have your students evaluate your courses using the standard University evaluation forms and to make those evaluations available
to the department chair and faculty for review.
