University of Notre Dame

Dear Colleague:

     The Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame is delighted to announce its current candidates for academic appointments. Most have their doctorates in hand or will have completed them by August 2010.

     During the last decade, Notre Dame has honed a small, highly selective Ph.D. program. All of our candidates reflect Notre Dame's unique integration of teaching and research. Many of these candidates have taught their own classes, and many have received highly competitive external grants as well. All have presented papers at professional conferences, and some already have authored or co-authored articles in respected discliplinary journals. Some seek and deserve placement at top-20 departments, while others aspire to teach at excellent liberal arts colleges.

     Tenure-track placements of our candidates in recent years have included universities such as Adelphi, Baylor, Catholic University, Drake, Florida State, LSU, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Oxford, Pennsylvania, Pepperdine, Pittsburgh, Purdue, University of Texas-Austin, Houston, SUNY-Stony Brook, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and liberal arts colleges such as Bates, Bowdoin, and Connecticut.

     To facilitate ready access to information, a number of our candidates have placed their biographical sketches, CVs, and contact information on our website. The candidates can be found by clicking on the field links above.

     We urge you to give serious consideration to our candidates.

Sincerely,

Christina Wolbrecht
Director of Graduate Studies
