The Department of History, Philosophy and the Social Sciences (HPSS) at the Rhode Island School of Design invites applications for a full-time faculty appointment of an Assistant Professor of Political Economy starting in fall of 2016. The suitable candidate will have undergraduate teaching experience and a broad background in Political Economy (PhD by start date in Political Science, Economics, Geography, International Relations, Sociology, Anthropology, Global Studies, or other relevant interdisciplinary degree). We are particularly interested in appointing a colleague with expertise in one or more of the following areas: (i) globalization, global supply chains, the social science of global consumption; (ii) the political economy of development and development studies with possible foci of attention on the impact of industrialization and urbanization in East Asia, South Asia, or Latin America; (iii) the social science of advanced manufacturing, contemporary industrial restructuring, the emerging global economy of design and social innovation studies; (iv) the political economy of work, labor, and/or gender as this pertains to the above areas.
HPSS (http://www.*risd.edu <http://risd.edu>*/Academics/HPSS/) is a multidisciplinary department within the Division of Liberal Arts. Our students are art and design majors who take one third of their courses in the Liberal Arts. For those interested, RISD offers unique opportunities for collaborative research and teaching with faculty and students in art and design disciplines (e.g., industrial design, apparel, textiles, architecture, film, etc.). Full-time faculty teach 6 courses a year at RISD; in HPSS, these are typically two seminar classes (15 students), two introductory classes (21 students) and two lecture classes (30 students). RISD supports professional practice with sabbaticals, pre-critical review leave, conference funds and professional development grants.
Please submit a C.V., cover letter that speaks to your interest in RISD, statement of teaching philosophy, a list of proposed courses and sample syllabi, a research statement and examples of scholarly work, and three letters of recommendation via RISD's online employment website: www.risd.edu/jobs. Review of applications will begin on November 13 and will continue until the position is filled. We intend to conduct on campus interviews for finalists in January 2016.
