Description
The Political Science Department at San Diego State University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Mexican and/or Central American Politics at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin Fall 2025. Applicants should demonstrate a well-developed research agenda, a promise of sustained scholarship, and a record of effective teaching.

Qualifications
The department seeks a scholar with expertise in the politics of Mexico or Central America broadly understood.

The successful candidate will have sufficient expertise to teach and mentor on the politics of Mexico.

As part of a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located on the US-Mexico border, we value research and teaching that are grounded in the politics of neighboring countries that have deep historical, economic, and political ties to the US and to Southern California.
