[jeremy hunsinger]

Faculty Position 
Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy 

Department: School of International Relations and Pacific Studies 

Position Title: Assistant Professor 

Job Number: pending 

Description: The School of International Relations and Pacific Studies 
(IR/PS) http://irps.ucsd.edu/ at UC 
San Diego (UCSD) is committed to academic excellence and diversity within 
the faculty, staff and student 
body. The IR/PS seeks candidates, broadly, in the areas of science, 
technology, engineering and public 
policy whose research, teaching or service has prepared them to contribute 
to our commitment to 
diversity and inclusion in higher education. Applicants are asked to 
summarize their past or potential 
contributions to diversity in their personal statement. Preference will be 
given to scholars at the Assistant 
Professor level of the specified areas, but excellent candidates in other 
areas or at other levels will also be 
seriously considered. The primary consideration will be strong demonstrated 
accomplishments in areas 
contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion, and a desire to play a 
leadership role in advancing UC San 
Diego’s commitment to achieving excellence and diversity. 

The successful candidate will also have demonstrated the highest standards 
of scholarship and 
professional activity, or for junior scholars to have the potential thereof. 
Examples of applicants may be 
social scientists that study public policy but are steeped in the practice 
of engineering, biomedicine, or 
technological change. Other examples include engineers or scientists whose 
research is substantially 
concerned with public policy, such as on how advanced water, energy or 
health technologies are put into 
practice. Still other examples include political scientists and economists 
who study technological change 
or the determinants of national innovation, or sociologists who research the 
management of technology. 
IR/PS has a special interest in candidates who can research and teach in 
public policy and engineering 
with an international focus, including scholarship on international 
institutional arrangements, or 
scholarship and teaching that pertains to one of the regional areas of the 
Pacific Rim, broadly defined to 
include Asia and Latin America. The successful candidate will have the 
ability to build a research and 
teaching program on technology and public policy at the IR/PS. The 
successful candidate would also 
develop rich links to other UCSD units, notably the Jacobs School of 
Engineering. 

Salary: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University 
of California pay scales. 

Closing Date: Review of applications will begin Sept 29th and continue until 
the position is filled 

To Apply: Applicants are asked to submit their application documents to

and to summarize in a personal statement their past experience and 
leadership in equity and diversity, or
