Offer Description
Societal transitions as well as contemporary digital transformations in various public policy fields (like healthcare and safety) provide examples of developments that are often presented as solutions to a wide range of current and future societal challenges. These developments raise questions such as: how do societal transitions reshape the public sector? How do digital transformations ignite new forms of public organization? How are societal challenges addressed by public governance actors? Contemporary societal transitions and technological developments ask for insights into the dynamics of public management, public policy, and public governance. As new developments also have unforeseen, unintended, or uncontrollable outcomes, we need insight into how they contribute to inclusive, resilient, and sustainable communities and when they are counterproductive. Are you looking for an inspiring environment that stimulates your teaching and academic research in various areas of public management, policy and governance? Then join our team!
As a newly appointed assistant professor, you will be working in the section of Public Administration at the University of Twente. Besides your excellence as a social scientist, your teaching skills are very important since you will have the opportunity to develop and teach courses in our BSc Management, Society & Technology, the MSc Public Administration and MSc European Studies programs. You will also supervise bachelor, master and PhD theses.
What are you going to do?
You are expected to:
- develop your research profile, be active in the academic domain of Public Administration, publish in international journals, and disseminate your research at leading conferences;
- teach Public Administration courses in BSc and MSc programs, including supervision of bachelor and master students;
- take initiatives to attract external funding;
- be open to collaborations with other institutes and public agencies and contribute to (joint) projects.
