PhD Fellow Intelligence and Security

3 maanden geleden


The Hague, Nederland Universiteit Leiden Voltijd

The Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is looking for a

PhD fellow in its research group Intelligence and Security.

The PhD fellow will develop a research project on the digital transformation of intelligence and contribute to our teaching portfolio in our bachelor and master programmes. The rise of digital technologies has transformed numerous sectors, reshaping how organizations operate and interact with their environment. Advancements in bulk data collection, data analytics, artificial intelligence and cloud computing to name a few, have significantly expanded the capability to process and analyze vast amounts of information. Digital innovation is particularly critical for intelligence organizations as they strive to provide timely and actionable insights to support decision-makers. Possible research questions will ask what is digital transformation and what are its implications for intelligence? Who are the main actors behind digital transformation and how do they interact with intelligence agencies and practices? What are the main challenges that stem from emerging digital technologies and how have intelligence organizations sought to overcome them? What are the principal requirements for successful digital transformation? Projects could for example focus on specific aspects of digital transformation such as the use of large language models and their implications for core intelligence functions such as warning. They should engage with broader conceptual debates, for example about innovation and control, technological sovereignty and democracy.

PhD fellows are junior academics who are responsible for teaching workgroups across the bachelor programmes and for teaching assistance in the master programmes, while also completing their PhD dissertation. They spend fifty percent of their time doing dissertation research and fifty per cent teaching, which includes the PhD training and tutor training they receive themselves. Because they teach half of the time, the fellows receive a tutor salary, and because they do PhD research half of the time the fellows have a 6-year contract to enable completion of their dissertation in that period.

PhD fellows primarily teach bachelor workgroups in which students work on their academic and professional skills using content from the lectures, and learn to apply relevant theories and practices. Collaborating with the course lecturers, tutors design workgroups, teach in small groups, provide input on assessment methods and rubrics, and grade assignments. In addition, they assist in master programme teaching under supervision of the course examiner.

Teaching expertise, experience, and trainings allow the PhD fellow to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ or BKO in Dutch).

Research by the PhD fellow includes all research activities necessary to complete a dissertation within the six-year time frame plus a mandatory PhD training programme offered by the ISGA and FGGA graduate school. The successful candidate will join the Research Group Intelligence and Security within ISGA. The research should lead to a PhD within a six-year timeframe.

Prospective candidates need to demonstrate a clear affinity with both teaching and research on the topic of this vacancy, in their CV and motivation letter plus a research proposal on the vacancy topic. The PhD fellow will be supervised by dr. Damien van Puyvelde. The candidate will perform the research and teaching at or on behalf of the Institute of Security and Global Affairs.

Selection criteria

Master’s degree in a relevant field, such as Intelligence Studies; International Relations; Security studies, Governance studies, Political Science; or Crisis and Security Management. A Master’s degree in other disciplines will be considered if degree or field of research is relevant to the topic of the vacancy.
