About this position

Bilkent University’s Department of Political Science and Public Administration in Ankara, Turkey, is inviting applications for an open-rank faculty position in Turkish Politics (Assistant/Associate/Full Professor).

The appointment is focused on research and teaching in Political Science, with particular emphasis on Turkish Political Development and Contemporary Turkish Politics. Applicants should have an active research agenda and, depending on seniority, a strong publication record. The department expects high-quality teaching and training at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Eligibility highlights include a Ph.D. at the time of appointment, strong scholarly output, and readiness to contribute to a research-intensive academic environment. The medium of instruction at Bilkent is English. Junior scholars may be eligible for a reduced teaching load in their early semesters.

This is a faculty job rather than a student scholarship. The position offers a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, including on-campus housing, health and retirement benefits, and subsidized private school support for faculty dependents.

The planned starting date is Spring or Fall 2027. The application deadline is 30 September 2026.

To apply, use the Bilkent staff application portal and upload the required documents: cover letter, teaching statement, research statement, CV, names and contact details of three referees, and two sample publications. Referees should send their letters directly to [email protected] by the deadline.
