Offer Description

This professorship is part of the strategic positioning of the Faculty of Law, which includes the following objectives: innovation, interdisciplinarity and internationalisation. The professorship also complements the range of courses offered by the Institute of Foundations of Law. Furthermore, the Department of Global Governance at the Institute of Foundations of Law focuses on Human Rights and Minority Protection, Peacebuilding and Conflict Transitions, Legal Governance and Integration. The department also hosts and coordinates the Austrian Conflict, Peace and Democracy Cluster – a cooperation platform connecting the University of Graz with the Austrian Study Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution in Schlaining, the Democracy Centre Vienna and the Institute of Conflict Research. At the same time, the faculty is creating a position that correlates with the legal history and sociology departments of the Institute of Foundations of Law, to the legal dogmatic core discipline of public law and the Field of Excellence “Dimensions of Europeanisation” at the Faculty of Law. The applicant is expected to work at the interface of law and social sciences and be able to monitor overall social developments from both perspectives. Emphasis is placed on teaching in the field of the Foundations of Law and a legal dogmatic core subject. Proven ability to conduct interdisciplinary research and teaching, especially in English, participate in national and international research networks, and attract competitive third-party funding is also required. We also expect gender mainstreaming skills.
