The Assistant Professor should contribute to the Earth, Energy, and Sustainability major as well as contribute to other majors within our international Liberal Arts & Sciences honours bachelor focused on Global Challenges. All teaching at LUC is in English.

The Assistant Professor should show clear affinity with the Global Challenges focus of LUC’s programme. We have a preference for a scholar who conducts empirically-oriented field research with expertise in qualitative research methods. The “Environment and Society” profile of the ideal candidate will include an additional focus within one or more of the following fields:

energy and the environment, health and population, ecotourism, urban planning, natural resource management, human impacts to the environment, and/or climate change adaption and mitigation. The core expertise of the ideal candidate will have clear linkages with human and/or natural systems.

In addition to teaching and research within your field of expertise, interest in engaging in interdisciplinary scholarship more broadly across the college is a distinct advantage.

Teaching experience is essential. Further, the ideal candidate will have an active research agenda that illustrates independent scholarship demonstrated in peer-reviewed publications. The ideal candidate will actively contribute to a dynamic college culture of bachelor student research. Concretely this includes integrating students in active research projects, integrating research into all levels of the curriculum, and advising undergraduate students on Capstone research (senior honours theses).

As part of Leiden University, LUC staff are able to take full advantage of being part of a large university setting and resources while also contributing actively to the energetic and stimulating atmosphere of our college community in The Hague. The location of Leiden University within the dynamic knowledge corridor in the Western region of the Netherlands provides opportunities for collaboration with expertise at several leading European universities, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. LUC also values close connections with societal and governance partners and stakeholders, in particular in the city of The Hague, but also outside of the city.
