Offer Description
Research
As a research professor you will develop a broad research programme with a focus on public international law, understood broadly also to include transnational, global, or pluralist approaches to the law. With a view to ensuring complementarity with existing expertise in our RU in matters of public international law, including the law of international organisations, private international law and European institutional law, the new recruit will be expected to develop an innovative research agenda in at least one of the following themes:
- challenges created by migratory fluxes at international level (including migration caused by climate change, or other natural disasters);
- inter-state relations, peace & security (with a particular focus on armed conflicts, and including hybrid forms of conflicts);
- international organisations/international institutional law;
- the rule of law in an international context;
- environment, climate change, and energy law;
- the impact of new technologies on supranational governance;
- multilevel monetary governance;
- finance/development law;
- multinational undertakings in international trade and investment law;
- intersections, and interactions, between various forms of international dispute settlement (e.g. investor-state dispute settlement, arbitration, or adjudication).
The Faculty particularly welcomes candidates who would strengthen the Research Unit’s long-established profile as a leading research centre on the interaction between international and European legal orders, ranging from the European Union as an international actor and its participation in international institutions to the reception of international law in the European legal order.
You will be expected to:
- carry out independent research, develop an internationally competitive research programme and pursue excellent scientific results;
- develop national and international partnerships;
- be open to a multidisciplinary approach and intensive collaboration with other research groups at KU Leuven, notably, the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies;
- supervise and coach master’s students, PhD/junior researchers and postdoctoral researchers;
- seek to acquire competitive research funding from national and international funds;
- have a keen interest in fundamental research, while also paying attention to the valorisation and practical application of research results, e.g. through contacts with policymakers and stakeholders and by engaging in applied research that is relevant for decisionmakers and legal practice.
