Assistant Professor with Tenure Track in Political Economy in or of Europe and the European Union

The Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics at Sciences Po is actively seeking a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor with specialist knowledge in the Political Economy in or of Europe and the European Union.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated their ability to conduct substantive empirical and theoretical research to an international standard. We welcome applications from highly qualified candidates with a strong profile, an international record of publication and a well-grounded expertise in comparative methodologies and analytic strategies, be they qualitative, quantitative, or mixed. They will contribute to the research cluster on the transformations of capitalism as well as at least one of the other clusters (cities, borders, and mobility; the state and public policy; tensions in representative democracy).

The successful candidate is expected to teach the political economy in or of Europe and the European Union (whether comparative, international or a combination of the two) at graduate and undergraduate levels. Annual duties comprise teaching (the equivalent of three courses of 24 hours each for tenured faculty) and administrative service (to the Centre and to Sciences Po more broadly). Teaching and service obligations are reduced during the first three years of the tenure track. At least one course will be delivered at one of Sciences Po’s regional campuses at undergraduatelevel (in Reims, Le Havre, Dijon, Nancy, Poitiers or Menton), the others in Paris (undergraduate and graduate level, in Sciences Po’s Schools). The specific workload will be agreed by the Head of the Department of Political Science in consultation with Sciences Po’s Learning and Teaching Directorate. 

Proficiency in English is a prerequisite, fluency in French is not a requirement.

Sciences Po is an employer that respects equal opportunities and is committed to ensuring a balanced representation of gender, geographic areas, and minorities. Applications from women are particularly welcome.
