Evidence of research leadership such as project management, editorships, evaluations, network facilitation, mentoring, service to academic associations, research councils, advisory boards and beyond is also an advantage.

 

The position also involves teaching postgraduate courses and supervising master’s dissertations and PhD theses in the Department of International Relations/Political Science. Candidates must therefore be able to offer general courses in the department and have supervision experience. Moreover, they will teach classes and supervise master’s dissertations in the interdisciplinary programmes and they may be called upon to teach in the executive education programmes of the Institute.

The teaching language is either English or French. Prior knowledge of French is not required, but the successful candidate is expected to acquire at least a passive knowledge of it within two years of being hired.

 

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and diverse environment. The International Relations/Political Science Department houses a wide range of theoretical, conceptual, methodological and empirical perspectives. It cultivates academic excellence by encouraging inquiries that challenge established theoretical and empirical boundaries. Its members are therefore expected both to be open to – and respectful of – multiple, evolving research agendas and pedagogies and to develop high quality research in a specialised area. Overall, the department offers a lively, inclusive and inspiring space for researchers to develop and thrive.
