We have three job openings here at Galway. Two of the advertised
fields are development and political economy. While the posts are
junior lectureships (equivalent to ass't professor in US), there are ways
in which more experienced people can be accommodated. As the equivalent
of tenure is decided more quickly here, giving up tenure is not a problem. In
addition to contacting the address at the bottom of the ad, any
interested parties can also contact me. I would also appreciate any
suggestions as to where else to send the ad, especially UK graduate
programs.
