The International Institute and the Division of Social Sciences at UCLA seek to fill an assistant professor position in the social sciences. The successful candidate must have an outstanding research profile focused on international development or globalization and transnational processes. The position will involve an appointment in one of the Division’s departments, with graduate teaching in the department and undergraduate teaching responsibilities in the Institute’s interdisciplinary programs in Global Studies or International Development Studies.
