What you bring
The Governance of Crises research group focuses on understanding crisis, disasters, and emergencies, such as hurricanes, floods, accidents, cyber security breaches, system blackouts and terrorist attacks. Crises are considered to be serious threats to the basic structures or the fundamental values and norms of a system. Our approach reflects ISGA’s multidisciplinary nature, and leverages public administration, organizational, sociological, political, and methodological perspectives. Crisis Governance research has traditionally focused on either functional approaches to crisis management (preventing or mitigating tangible harm) or political approaches (responding to legitimacy and reputation threats, and organizational contingencies resulting from crises). Crisis governance research aims to identify, understand and explain the implications of the political, organizational and societal routines, perspectives and interests at stake in the strategic management of crises. Research on crisis governance should contribute to academic knowledge, inform public debate and support the development of professional practice. We are keen to link the study of crisis governance to broader disciplinary and interdisciplinary debates.
Within this group, we are looking for someone with complementary expertise who can work independently. Every job is different, so in the beginning we will devote attention to your onboarding. If some of the work activities are new to you, we will look together at what you need, and draw up a development plan. This position is a good fit for you if you recognise yourself in the following:
PhD degree in the broad fields of crisis and disaster management, safety studies, comparative policy studies, political science, organization sociology, organization studies, or public administration; or any field with that is relevant to teaching and researching crisis governance; Demonstrable research experience in the field of crisis governance, disaster management, or safety studies. Outstanding research qualities manifest in an established or developing publication record that includes publications in international peer-reviewed journals. Demonstrable excellence in research-led teaching; Demonstrable passion for education, in and out of the classroom; Demonstrable commitment to a close-knit, interdisciplinary academic community; Excellent command of English. Advanced proficiency in Dutch is considered an asset. Demonstrable command of a diversity of research methods and techniques; Growing network of academics and professionals in the field of crisis governance both domestically and internationally; Ability to connect academic research to policy-oriented and societal impact; Leiden University requires teaching staff to obtain the University Teaching Qualifications (UTQ).If you immediately recognise yourself in this profile, or if do you not quite meet all the requirements, but you believe that this is the right job for you, we look forward to your application
