Are you a legal scholar specialising in the interplay between law, sustainability, finance and business? Then the Utrecht University School of Law may be the place for you to be!
Wat ga je doen? As an Assistant Professor in the International and European Law department (part of the Utrecht School of Law), your activities will include both education and research.
You will teach both Bachelor’s and Master’s students. The department offers Bachelor’s courses such as Inleiding Europees Recht, European Law International Law and the Master’s programmes European Law, Law & Sustainability in Europe and Law & Economics. The courses you teach will be determined in consultation with you. You will work in education teams, where colleagues support and learn from one another. You will contribute to the improvement of our curriculum in areas such as: content development, didactics, teaching formats or professional skills. You will also build on your own education skills by completing the internal training course for the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ/BKO). You will also eventually be assigned coordinating tasks pertaining to education.
You will devote 40% of your working hours to research in your field of expertise, as part of one of the research programmes of the Utrecht School of Law.
