The Department of Political Science at Duke University invites applications for a post-doctoral associate position in Security, Peace and Conflict.  The position is for one year and will begin August 1, 2024.  We seek candidates who can teach courses aimed at both the master’s level and advanced undergraduate level.  One of the courses is PS 528 Peace and Conflict Processes, a course looking at the causes of political conflict and the strategies designed to prevent, manage and resolve that conflict peacefully.  The other course could be a specialty course at the intersection of human security and foreign policy. The candidate will conduct their own research as well as participate in the intellectual life of the Department, including workshops and co-curricular programs at the intersection of American foreign policy and political theory.  The position requires a minimum of a PhD.
