Associate or full professor in Political Theory / PPE (EXPIRED)

Associate or full professor in Political Theory (rank open), Faculty of Philosophy (1,0 fte), Groningen, Netherlands

The application deadline is 15 May 2015.

The University of Groningen is seeking to establish a new associate or full professorship (rank open) in Political Theory at the Faculty of Philosophy and to appoint an outstanding scholar of international repute with effect from 1 October 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Faculty has made a strategic choice to strengthen its research through the development of a masters programme in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) and a concomitant Centre for Philosophy, Politics and Economics that will stimulate and facilitate interdisciplinary research at the interface of philosophy, political theory and economics.

The successful applicant will be appointed in the Faculty, and will play a major role in shaping the Centre and the masters programme, among other things by hiring additional staff, and is expected to have expertise fitting the interdisciplinary environment of the Faculty and the Centre. The ability to relate political theory to adjacent disciplines in philosophy and social science is highly valued.

The post is advertised as open rank (associate or full professor), and the successful candidate is expected to be at a mid or advanced career stage.
