The Department of Political Science invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in Comparative Politics with a regional focus on Africa, South Asia, or Southeast Asia. Candidates with transregional interests are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated potential for excellence in and enthusiasm for teaching, active and high-quality scholarship, and student advising and support are essential.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
