The University of Amsterdam (UvA) is a university with an internationally acclaimed profile, located at the heart of the Dutch capital. As well as a world centre for business and research, Amsterdam is a hub of cultural and media activities. The University of Amsterdam is a member of the League of European Research Universities.

The Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences (FMG) is the largest educational and research institution in the social sciences in the Netherlands. The Faculty serves 7,500 students in numerous Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Communication Science, Psychology, Social Geography, Planning and International Development Studies, and Educational Sciences. The academic staff is employed in education as well as research. There are over 1,100 employees at the Faculty department, which resides in a number of buildings in the centre of Amsterdam.

The Department of Political Sciences is one of the departments of the FMG. Education and research activities are carried out by special institutes.

Most of the research within the Department is conducted in the research programmes of two research schools, the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (IMES) and the Amsterdam School for Social Science Research (ASSR).

Assistant Professor of Political Science

1.0 FTE (38 hours per week)

vacancy number 09-2095

The way in which social inequality on the basis of gender and ethnicity transcends into the political arena is an essential element of the study of politics. The degree to which political and institutional configurations both at a national and an international level enable different societal groups to articulate their needs in order to gain access to political life touches on core democratic principles, such as equality, representation, justice and fairness. The assistant professorship focusing on gender and ethnicity is developed to deepen and expand the research and teaching regarding these themes within the department of political science.

The department is particularly interested in recruiting an experienced researcher with the interest and ability to undertake comparative research on the role of societal norms, institutional features and/or international developments, such as globalization and migration, on political inequality from a temporal and cross-national perspective. Specifically, questions relating to the ways in which political inequality is organized politically or concerning the ways in which institutional features mediate the interest articulation and aggregation of different societal groups in particular women and ethnic minorities would be at the core of such research endeavors. Successful applicants are expected to display an academic interest and research experience in studying political inequality and its consequences which is demonstrated by publications in international peer-reviewed political science journals and other publication venues and formats.

In terms of teaching, the applicant should be able to demonstrate extensive teaching experience in political science at both the BA and MA-levels. Ideally, the candidate possesses a strong teaching profile in the area of political inequality grounded in gendered and ethnic differences or would be willing to develop such a profile. Finally, the candidate will be expected to develop new academic courses on topics relating to gender and ethnicity.
