These programmes are: the Montaigne Centre for Rule of Law and Administration of Justice, the Utrecht Centre for Regulation and Enforcement in Europe (RENFORCE), the Utrecht Centre for Accountability and Liability Law (UCALL), the Utrecht Centre for European Research into Family Law (UCERF) and the Utrecht Centre for Water, Oceans and Sustainability Law (UCWOSL). In your first year of appointment, you are welcome to explore the activities of these programmes and meet their experts. After that, you will discuss your affiliation and research contribution with at least one of these programmes.

  • You have a PhD or will complete your dissertation within the near future.
  • You have preferably expertise and/or affinity with public international law, international law of the sea, international environmental law and supervision of law.
  • You enjoy being part of a team, and express that by being open to various types of collaboration, sharing knowledge and experiences, and contributing to a collegial, open and inclusive work environment.
  • You can communicate clearly and know how to make people want to listen to you.
  • You reflect critically on your own behaviour and work methods, and take responsibility for your work and career.

  • You approach course topics from a variety of perspectives, and take the fact that the student population is diverse into consideration when presenting the lesson materials.
  • You know how to motivate students in their development.
  • You show initiative in setting up and initiating research.

In addition to English language proficiency at the C1 level (CEFR), some proficiency in the Dutch language is also relevant. You are willing to develop your Dutch language proficiency to at least the B1 CEFR level within two years of the start of your employment contract. We offer courses to help employees achieve the necessary language proficiency level.
