The University of Pittsburgh’s Global Studies Center (GSC) announces the Visiting Professorship in Contemporary International Issues, which is funded by a generous endowed gift from Mr. William F. Benter and the Benter Foundation. This visiting professorship enables the GSC to host scholars whose research and teaching examine critical international issues that shape and define the contemporary world.
For the 2016-17 academic year, GSC invites applications from scholars with expertise in the Middle East. We are interested in candidates from any discipline whose research and teaching interests intersect with one or more of our focal themes of global health, human rights/human security, and inequalities. Candidates whose research also addresses gender issues are especially encouraged to apply.
Applicants should submit a cover letter explaining their interest and qualifications; curriculum vitae; research and teaching statements; evidence of teaching excellence, if available; a writing sample; and, three letters of reference. We begin considering applications onNovember 16, 2015 and can guarantee consideration only to complete applications received by that date.
