The Department of Political Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is pleased to announce its current candidates on the market for the academic year 2011-2012.
Our Ph.D. students on the market this year constitute a diverse group of very promising political scientists. We have a strong tradition of rigorous theoretical and methodological training and excellent placement for our graduate students. We provide students myriad opportunities to do original research, often in collaboration with each other or our faculty and preparation for teaching in both small and large classes.
As such, all of our candidates reflect UNL's unique integration of teaching and research. Most of our students have taught their own classes and at the same time many have received highly competitive external grants (both national and international), and won awards honoring their excellent research. Most of them have presented papers at professional conferences, and some already have publications in peer-reviewed journals.
The recent placement of our students reflects our renewed effort to boost the overall reputation of our graduate program. During the last few years, our students obtained well-deserved academic jobs at research universities and liberal arts colleges such as University of Iowa, Texas A&M University, University of Oklahoma, University of Northern Iowa, Northern Illinois University, San Diego State University, Central Washington University, Mankato State University, Elon University, and Central European University.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you need additional information about any of our candidates.
Sincerely,
Patrice C. McMahon
Graduate Director
