Associate Professor of Political Theory

As Associate Professor of Political Theory, you will be a leading, internationally active researcher in your field of expertise. Expertise within the current Political Theory group ranges from radical democracy and resistance, recognition and urban justice to democratic backsliding and political corporate responsibility. We welcome applications that add to our strengths, and value to a diversity of perspectives, experiences and academic trajectories. In particular, but not exclusively, we welcome candidates with scholarly profiles that complement our current profile such as environmental political theory, theories of technology and power, feminist and gender theory, postcolonial political thought, and global and transnational political theory. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment in which academics can thrive and develop their research agendas.

First and foremost, you should be a highly motivated and committed scholar who values collaboration and is able to contributes positively to our academic community. You are an accomplished teacher at the undergraduate and graduate levels and have a proven track record of publications in high-quality, peer-reviewed academic journals, edited collections and/or as the author of academic monographs. As an active researcher, you are expected to obtain funding from governmental, European and/or private institutions, to collaborate within our Faculty’s interdisciplinary research networks (called Hotspots), and to publish regularly in leading international academic journals.

You will teach courses in the Bachelor’s degree programme in Political Science, specifically in Political Theory, and within the Master's specialisation in Applied Political Theory. You will be expected to supervise Bachelor's and Master’s students, as well as PhD candidates working on their theses.

As an Associate Professor, you will play an active role in the leadership of the Department and the Faculty. As an ambassador of the Political Theory Chair Group, you will cherish and expand contacts with alumni and with relevant groups and institutions in society and actively contribute to the group’s efforts to make an impact on society. Depending on your prior experience, we will together formulate a three-to-five-year development plan aimed at your eventual promotion to full professor. Throughout this process, you will be supported by mentoring, professional development opportunities and regular career development conversations.

Research Assistant at DCC

We are only slowly beginning to understand the different ways in which memories can be formed and retained in long-term memory. Different memory systems in our brain (e.g. the hippocampus vs. neocortical structures) are involved, depending not only on whether and how long ago the information was learned, but probably also on the individual learner, the type of learning material and the learning situation.

As part of the team of the ERC consolidator project ’MultiMemoryL2 - Multiple routes to memory for a second language’, you will contribute to the study of how different memory systems are used for L2 word, pronunciation and grammar learning, and how this differs between individuals and learning contexts. The project makes use of behavioural, electrophysiological and brain imaging techniques. You will collaborate with the project team, consisting of several junior researchers, as well as with project leader Prof. Kristin Lemhöfer.

Your main tasks will be to prepare, carry out and help analyse behavioural and brain imaging experiments with healthy adult participants. Furthermore, you will support the professional handling of data archiving and ethical approval as well as other administrative tasks within the ERC project. Ideally, you have the skills required for maintaining the project’s website and the programming of the experiments. Currently, we are especially looking for someone with experience in the analysis of fMRI data (but this is not a strict requirement). This position is well suited to you if you wish to qualify and prepare for a later PhD position.
