Offer Description

The Faculty of Law (https://www.rug.nl/rechten/ ) of the University of Groningen is a modern, (inter)nationally oriented institution which builds on a longstanding tradition of more than four centuries. The faculty has the ambition to measure itself with the best law faculties in Europe. It offers several (inter)national Bachelor and Master programmes and with 5.000 students and almost 500 staff members, the faculty forms a vibrant community.

The European and Economic Law department of the University of Groningen is built around the first chair of European law in the Netherlands. The department strives for the highest level of research and education in all aspects of European law. The aim is to provide students of the Faculty of Law with a complete overview of European Union law. The emphasis is on the relationship between European law and the national and international legal systems. Within the framework of the research programme ‘Protecting European Citizens and Market Participants’, staff of the European and Economic Law department have built up a strong reputation for publishing in national and international top journals.

We currently have two positions for Assistant Professor of European Law. One of these positions includes teaching in a number of Dutch language courses and could also be turned into a Lecturers position if a qualified applicant does not yet hold a PhD degree.
