As a leading institution in Africa devoted to the study of international relations (IR), Wits offers vibrant undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We are uniquely placed to provide an IR perspective from the global South. Further, our discipline is home to the Centre for Africa’s International Relations and is closely affiliated to the South African Institute of International Affairs. We also maintain active links with international and regional organizations. Our staff members are prolific in their production of scholarly research in a wide range of areas. Moreover, in the last few years numerous staff members have been the recipients of prestigious research grants.

Qualifications and experience:

PhD, teaching and supervision experience, record of scholarly research and publications.

We seek candidates who are well grounded in the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field of IR. Preference will be given to those specialising in International Organizations and conflict resolution in an African context.

Candidates should be committed to excellence in teaching, research, and postgraduate supervision, and to contributing to debates about international issues facing South Africa and the continent. A typical teaching load is three courses per year but usually not more than two courses per semester. We also expect staff to produce at least one published piece of scholarly research per year. All staff members are expected to actively participate in administrative activities at discipline, School and Faculty levels.
