LTMS offers a Master Program in Law & Technology. In recent years, student numbers have increased and LTMS has expanded its education activities to other master programs – e.g. data science – and bachelor programs – e.g. courses in Global Law and Liberal Arts.

You may be asked to perform other duties occasionally which are not included above, but which will be consistent with the role of Lecturer.

Tilburg University believes that academic excellence is achieved through the combination of outstanding research and education, in which social impact is made by sharing knowledge. In doing so, we recognize that excellence is not only achieved through individual performance, but mostly through team effort in which each team member acts as a leader connecting people.

The vacated position requires a self-starter with a deep interest in understanding how educational processes work at the university. Ranging from organizing courses to ensuring the smooth running of examination, to the understanding and managing of education enhancing technologies.
