Assistant Professor in Air Law

The Assistant Professor (universitair docent) in Air Law is expected to teach and conduct research in this fast-paced, dynamic field that is influenced by public international law, EU law,  competition law and environmental law, as well as international trade law and the law on aircraft financing.

The Assistant Professor should ideally contribute to a focused research agenda, for instance, on challenges to the aviation sector and the role of States, the EU and the international legal order in air transport. Research is conducted under the Leiden Law School research programmes ‘Exploring the Frontiers of International Law’ and ‘The Progression of EU Law: Accommodating Change and Upholding Values’.

In terms of teaching, the Assistant Professor will be expected to contribute to a bachelor’s course and to teach on the Advanced LLM in Air and Space Law programme; both are conducted in English. The Assistant Professor will supervise LLM theses and possibly also doctoral work.

 The IIASL benefits from an extensive network of alumni and professionals in the aviation and space sectors. To nurture its network, the IIASL regularly organises international activities and engages in collaborative and contract research. The Assistant Professor will help to maintain and grow the network and support its activities.
