How difficult to find a position at a research university?

I am applying to PhD programs this fall in political science. While I do desire to teach, I am primarily motivated by a desire to spend my time doing research. How difficult is it to find a job at a research university, or at least one with a 2-1 or 2-2 teaching load?

Easiest way to find this out is to go to such a university's webpage, find the department of interest, look through the CVs of the untenured assistant professors. Then remember to scale up cos that shit keeps getting harder.
