Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies - 000673
The University of Richmond’s Jepson School of Leadership Studies (JSLS) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor to begin in the 2023-24 academic year.

The successful candidate must be a quantitative social scientist who will have completed a Ph.D. by August 16, 2023 in anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, or a related field. We will consider candidates whose demonstrated scholarly work considers how institutions or cultural norms structure leadership and/or decision-making. Successful candidates’ specific areas of expertise might include (but are not limited to): whether or how leaders matter, collective intelligence, institutional decision-making, collective action problems, political polarization, institutional change, or cultural evolution.

JSLS is a collaborative, inclusive community of scholars with representation from diverse humanities and social science disciplines. Applicants should have the potential and desire to teach in our interdisciplinary undergraduate liberal arts environment (see http://jepson.richmond.edu/for more information). The successful candidate will be expected to teach elective courses related to his or her disciplinary training and to contribute to the curriculum by teaching such required courses as Leadership and the Social Sciences, Quantitative Social Science, and Theories and Models of Leadership.
