Job Description

Postdoc Research Associate in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE)

City: West Lafayette

Job Summary

Purdue University invites applications for a 12 month (FY) Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a Templeton Foundation‑funded multi-year project led by Drs. JP Messina, Brian Kogelmann, Jesse Crosson, and Logan Strother. The project is "The Neglected Safeguards of Liberalism." Here is a summary of the project:

While liberalism's traditional safeguards—such as constitutions with separated powers, checks and balances, and guaranteed individual rights—are well studied, less-examined institutions also play a critical role in sustaining liberal political orders. These "neglected safeguards" include political parties, interest groups, civil society organizations, business firms, unelected government officials, universities, public schools, administrative agencies, social and professional norms, and more. Our team will systematically examine how these neglected safeguards protect both civic and economic freedoms and expand awareness of their role in doing so for both scholarly and civic audiences.

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate to conduct research on one or more of the neglected safeguards of liberalism. This is a three-year research appointment with no teaching obligations and dedicated annual funding to support research, travel, and scholarly collaboration. The position begins January 2027.

Required Qualifications
  • PhD in Philosophy, Political Science, or related field at time position begins.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Demonstrated research excellence.
Please Submit:
  • A cover letter describing your research and how it fits the project.
  • Curriculum vitae.
  • Names and contact information for 3 references.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning November 15. A background check is required for employment in this position.

Candidates must be eligible for employment without visa sponsorship.

Purdue University is an EOE/AA employer.

All individuals, including minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.
