Abstract:
The international academic labour market is in rapid development. This trend brings two questions. First, are political scientists in the international academic employers’ focus of interest? Second: What kind of portfolio, requirements, and tasks are expected from them? To answer, the authors conducted empirical research on the academic job offer market in search of positions in the political science field. The authors reviewed 128 political science academic positions sourced from international online job postings. The empirical data is collected between January 2021 and June 2022 for job positions starting in the 2021-2022 or 2022-2023 academic year. The article outlines the profile of the political scientists welcomed and expected in the international academic labour market with its research, teaching, projects, collaboration, and further capacity. The findings can serve as a comprehensive guide to the evolution and progress of political science globally and in Europe for many years to come.
