Until you hear from a representative of the SIS Department of Politics, Governance & Economics or the Office of HR Faculty, please continue to also apply directly to other positions posted on AU’s website.

We’re excited that you are applying to become a member of the Adjunct Faculty in the Department of Politics, Governance & Economics in the School of International Service at American University.

They play a vital role in every department and program in every school and college at the university, teaching on campus, in our on-line programs, and working with students one-on-one.

Resolving today’s transnational crises requires a global perspective that unites pioneering research with a foundational understanding of economics, politics, and governance. In SIS’s Politics, Governance, and Economics (PGE) department, our faculty of political scientists, economists, and top regional specialists investigate longstanding and emerging questions related to power, identity, and institutions. Our courses train students with the foundational knowledge and data analysis skills to resolve pressing international, regional, and local issues.

Established in 1957, American University’s School of International Service (SIS) is a top-ten school of international affairs located in Washington, D.C.
