Duties include teaching at all three levels of study, supervising Master’s and Doctoral students, engaging in ongoing research and publication, contributing to the academic life and reputation of Université Laval, and all other activities foreseen by the Collective Agreement.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in political science or related disciplines (candidates who are near completion will also be considered), demonstrated excellence in teaching, peer-reviewed publications, and proficiency in the French language. Preference will be given to candidates having the capacity to teach methodology to all levels of study.

Applications must include a cover letter explaining the candidate’s research projects, curriculum vitae, one sample of scholarly writing, sample course outlines and teaching evaluations or other evidence of teaching excellence. Three confidential letters of reference must be mailed directly by the referees to the address below (e-mail accepted).

Application files should be addressed to Érick Duchesne, Directeur par intérim, Département de science politique, Université Laval, Pavillon Charles-De Koninck, 1030, avenue des Sciences-Humaines, local 3453, Québec (Québec) G1V 0A6, and sent by e-mail to direction@pol.ulaval.ca. Closing date for receipt of applications is March 31, 2016.

The search process allows all regular professors in the Department to have access to all application files unless the applicant explicitly states that access to the application should be limited to the members of the search committee. This restriction on accessibility will be lifted if and when the applicant is invited for an interview.

Université Laval provides support for newly-recruited faculty to attain proficiency in French.

Valuing diversity, Université Laval encourages all qualified individuals to apply, particularly women, visible and ethnic minorities, aboriginal persons, and persons with disabilities, but priority will be given to Canadians and Canadian permanent residents.
