Assistant Professor in International Relations (F/M/D)

The Department of International Relations at Central European University invites applications for a full-time Assistant Professorship position. Applicants should have a research background in the field of International Relations. We particularly encourage applications from candidates whose expertise lies in the study of International Law, Global Governance, and International Organizations. Successful candidates should demonstrate the ability to teach a graduate-level course in International Law. 

The Department of International Relations offers a full-time MA program (one and two years) that provides students with an overview of the field of International Relations—its “big picture”—understood as an interdisciplinary inquiry into the question of just what makes up the global political order. Because the global political order is made up by a multiplicity of historically shaped, socially diverse, and unevenly developed entities and practices, our program also provides a “close focus” of each element of the order, which deserves its own particular attention. Both dispositions are supported by a faculty with diverse educational backgrounds and a multicultural student body, representing all regions of the world. Next to its MA programs, the department also contributes to teaching and supervision in the Doctoral School of Political Science (DSPS), as well as CEU’s BA programs.
