Leiden, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Universiteit Leiden Voltijd

Full Professor (Universitair Hoogleraar) of International Relations (38 hours a week)

Role Overview
The Institute of Political Science at Universiteit Leiden is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Professor of International Relations. This is a full-time role, aimed at enhancing the institute's educational offerings in international relations, following a notable expansion in recent years.

The selected candidate will be responsible for providing leadership in both research and education within the intricate and evolving domain of international relations. While the position is open to various subfields and methodologies, we are particularly keen on attracting candidates who can introduce fresh areas of expertise to our esteemed faculty.

The new professor will be expected to engage in and disseminate advanced research in international relations, mentor junior faculty, instruct undergraduate and graduate students, supervise doctoral candidates, and play a pivotal role in securing external research funding as well as contributing to the intellectual and administrative activities of the Institute.

Work Environment
The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences encompasses five institutes, including Political Science, and is home to approximately 7000 students and 1000 staff members. Our faculty not only delivers education but also conducts innovative research that expands our understanding of human behavior and societal frameworks. The diverse range of research topics and teaching styles, along with well-organized professional support, allows for the exploration and development of individual interests and expertise.

The Institute of Political Science has a rich history, being the first in the world to appoint a Professor of Politics. Today, it comprises around 80 academic staff members, including lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors, along with PhD and post-doctoral researchers. The institute's academic community is characterized by a balanced mix of Dutch and international members.

The Institute is recognized for its pioneering research in areas such as parliamentary governance, political parties, electoral behavior, and Dutch politics, while also gaining acclaim for its expertise in international relations and European politics. Our research staff frequently publish in top-tier journals and are successful in securing national and European research grants.

The research program 'Institutions, Decisions and Collective Behaviour' includes eight interconnected research clusters: Conflict, Conflict Resolution and Crisis Management; Elections, Communication and Public Opinion; European Integration; Identity, Ethnicity and Political Community; International Organisation; Legitimacy and Justice; Politics in The Netherlands; Representation and Political Parties. Members of the institute also contribute to various multidisciplinary research centers within the university.

The Institute offers a variety of taught programs at both Bachelor and Master levels and trains PhD students in political science. The Bachelor’s program includes general Political Science and International Politics, while the Master’s program features several specializations, predominantly taught in English. The introduction of the International Relations and Organisations specialization has significantly increased student enrollment, particularly from international backgrounds, necessitating the expansion of our teaching staff in this area.

Candidate Profile
Applicants for this position must hold a PhD and possess a robust publication record in reputable journals or academic presses. A clear vision for future research aligned with the institute's strategic objectives is essential, along with a proven history of securing research grants, leading research initiatives, supervising PhD candidates to completion, and mentoring junior colleagues. Experience in designing and delivering high-quality educational programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels is required.

Candidates should demonstrate the maturity and experience necessary to provide visionary, inclusive, and respectful leadership within the Institute of Political Science. A commitment to fostering an inclusive environment is crucial, in line with the university's 'Academia in Motion' framework, which emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to education, research, and societal impact.

Fluency in English is mandatory, and a working knowledge of Dutch is preferred; candidates not proficient in Dutch should be willing to learn within a specified timeframe. Experience in connecting research with policy and societal needs is advantageous. We strongly encourage applications from candidates whose profiles would enhance diversity within the institute's senior staff.

Benefits
We are committed to creating a transparent and inclusive work environment where all individuals feel valued and respected. Our organization is dynamic, and we welcome innovative ideas for improvement. We prioritize personal development and offer a stimulating role within the impactful realm of education and research.

The successful candidate can expect:

  • An appointment in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities;
  • A competitive salary ranging from €6.648 to €9.680 gross per month, based on experience;
  • Additional benefits including a holiday allowance, end-of-year bonus, and a pension scheme;
  • Flexible working hours and a minimum of 29 leave days based on a full-time schedule;
  • Opportunities for hybrid working arrangements within the Netherlands;
  • Support for home office setups, including a laptop and mobile phone where applicable.

The university places a high value on teaching quality, requiring all academic staff with teaching responsibilities to obtain the University Teaching Qualification within two years.

Commitment to Diversity
Promoting an inclusive community is central to the values and vision of Universiteit Leiden. We aim to create an environment where all students and staff feel respected and can reach their full potential. Diversity enriches our teaching and strengthens our research. We are particularly interested in applications from women and individuals from underrepresented groups, and in cases of equal suitability, preference will be given to female candidates.

Application Process
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications, including a cover letter, CV, leadership statement, research statement, and teaching statement, all compiled into a single PDF document.

A pre-employment screening may be part of the selection process.

Note
We appreciate your understanding that unsolicited applications will not be considered.
