Subject: Hiring announcement of interest to critical political geographers
Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 12:38:20 +1200
Dear Colleagues,
Our department has two open positions: one in comparative and the other is open
field. We are looking for the best possible person, rather than someone who
fits a certain profile. Auckland has a tenure-like system, although it's far
less stressful than the American tenure system. We teach 3 courses a year (2
undergraduate and 1 postgraduate). We have excellent research funds also. For
Our faculty (Arts) has $25,000 grants for new staff; in the past, these have
basically been ensured if you have a decent proposal. On top of that, you get
$5000/year from the department for conferences and small research projects. I
also received a $5000 Asia:NZ foundation grant in my first 6 months here, and
I'm in the running for a $300,000/3 year grant from the NZ government that
would buy me out of all teaching but 1 course per year. I would be more than
happy to answer any questions about the department. Applications close June 30.
Very best wishes,
Maria Rost Rublee, Ph.D.
Senior Lecturer, International Relations
Department of Political Studies
University of Auckland
