Yale-NUS College is a liberal arts and sciences college with approximately 1000 students and 110 full-time faculty. The College is a collaboration between Yale University and the National University of Singapore. Yale-NUS students are intellectually outstanding, with an acceptance rate of less than 7%, and internationally diverse, representing over seventy countries. They go through a unique and rigorous Common Curriculum in the sciences, social sciences and humanities that combines Western and Eastern traditions with contemporary skills.

The College invites applications for two tenure-track positions in Global Affairs at the rank of Assistant Professor. Preferred disciplinary fields are politics, economics, or sociology. We particularly welcome applications from scholars who can teach global governance or international political economy, and whose research concerns a transboundary issue in areas such as global public health, climate change, world trade, international finance, or international organizations.

Scholars with regional expertise outside of Asia, such as in Africa or Latin America, are welcome.

Applicants should have a relevant PhD and demonstrate an outstanding track record for their career stage.

A commitment to undergraduate education is essential. The incoming faculty member would join a committed team in developing and teaching courses in the Global Affairs major (see https://globalaffairs.yale-nus.edu.sg/) and Yale-NUS’s flagship Common Curriculum (see http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/curriculum/common-curriculum). 

The appointee will be expected to begin duties in August 2021.

Yale-NUS faculty receive internationally competitive salaries and start-up grants as well as a yearly travel and research allowance, and are able to access additional funding from Yale-NUS, the National University of Singapore and Singapore’s Ministry of Education. Most faculty qualify for highly subsidized faculty housing. Yale-NUS College is located in Singapore, a multicultural city of six million at the heart of a vibrant region.
