The School of Social Sciences (SOSS), Singapore Management University, invites
applications for a tenure-track position in Public Policy at the rank of Assistant
Professor.

The ideal candidate is one who conducts innovative research in topics related to
comparative public policy, public administration, or global governance, and who can
teach introductory as well as special-topic elective courses in public policy that will
contribute towards the SOSS Public Policy and Public Management (PPPM) second
major. We are open to research focus, although an interest in Asia would be a plus.
The successful candidate will display a record of, or high potential for, scholarly
research, as well as demonstrated teaching aptitude in Public Policy topics. The
position requires a doctorate in Public Policy, Public Administration, Political Science,
or a closely related field.

their first contract.

Full evaluation of applications will start 16 September 2019. Only shortlisted
candidates will be notified for interviews, which will begin in October 2019. The
successful candidate will be expected to start at Singapore Management University
