JOB DESCRIPTION

Position: The Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE) is recruiting a Full Professor in the field of sociology  with affiliation to the Department of Sociology.

Discipline: Sociology

Profile: Sociology of crime, deviance and corruption

DUTIES

Research

The successful candidate should share research interest in one or several of the following: crime, deviance, corruption – as well as the policies to fight or prevent these phenomena. Candidates should be experts in criminal behaviour in contexts of multilevel governance and transnational circulations of goods, money, services and people.

The position is open to established sociologists from a wide range of backgrounds, theoretical approaches and methodological skills (qualitative, quantitative or mixed approaches). Demonstrable expertise in one or several social science methods (and the ability to teach about such methods) will be particularly valued, as well as an interest for transnational circulation perspectives and comparative research.

We are expecting to receive applications from scholars with an excellent record of publications in criminology and sociology journals and international book series, a strong integration in international networks, and substantial teaching experience.

Teaching

Annual teaching duties are 128 lecture-theatre class-equivalent (CM) hours that can generally be divided into three 24-hour lecture or seminar courses and 56 CM hours of complementary pedagogical services (e.g., student admissions, MA and PhD dissertation supervision, university administration roles, etc.).

The appointed professor will be expected to teach at the three levels of instruction offered by Sciences Po: its Undergraduate programme (College - on one of the seven Sciences Po regional campuses), its Graduate (Master) programme and its School of research.

The successful candidate will be required to teach Introduction to sociology at the undergraduate level in English and deliver master’s and doctoral level training in analysing mobilities, crime, and social problems.

Courses may be taught in English or French.
