Virginia Tech's School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) invited applications for the position of Associate or Assistant Professor in the Government and International Affairs (GIA) program based in Alexandria, Virginia, beginning
Fall 2008. An earlier start is possible subject to negotiation and administrative approval.
Area of Specialization: The area of specifi c specialization is open but should compliment existing strengths within SPIA and GIA. We are interested in candidates who have broad international experience and take a comparative approach toward the systemic challenges created by the intersecting dynamics of globalization, geopolitical change, and governance. We welcome candidates whose research at
international or global levels of analysis has contemporary relevance for the theorization and practice of government and international affairs. Having a particular regional focus will not hinder an application but candidates should be
open to working with students who have broad and diverse interests. A Ph.D. in Anthropology, Geography, History, Political Science, Sociology, or related discipline is required.
Appointment at a senior level requires the demonstration of a record of scholarly achievement.
Institutional and Geographic Setting: Virginia Tech's School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) is based in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies (CAUS).
SPIA operates across a series of campus sites, the most important of which is the main campus in Blacksburg, and the National Capital Region, where Virginia Tech has facilities in multiple locations in the region. SPIA also includes the programs of the Center for Public Administration and Policy (CPAP) as well as those of Urban Affairs and Planning (UAP). The advertised position is for a faculty member working in Alexandria who can function well in a multidisciplinary setting in a program environment serving working professional graduate students from the Washington DC
metropolitan region as well as full-time students. The GIA program offers a Masters in Public and International Affairs (MPIA) and a Ph D in Planning Globalization and Governance (PG&G). The opportunity to serve as future head of the GIA program is a possibility candidates may be asked to consider.
