I am applying for a faculty position. The position is not intended for one particular project but rather part of a research group in political science. 

In addition to overall ambitions for this position, the job application I am looking at wants "Major Sub-projects" and a "Publication Strategy"? It is not clear to me what project they are talking about that would have sub-projects. Unfortunately, I reall have no idea what they are asking or how to word these areas. 

So, my initial instinct is that I have an overall idea, and I point towards the main areas of research to which this idea can branch and explain it in a couple of sentences.

And publication strategy? This is where I am lost, lost. I would like to continue to publish in high-ranking, relevant journals. Possibly turn everything into a book at the end? Do I need to bring a timetable and mention how many articles I can push out? Or which areas should I touch upon? For example, I would like to publish comparative works as well as case specific (in political science). I am uncertain about how to address this.
