The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
Geneva, Switzerland
invites applications for a full-time position at the rank of
Associate Professor of Global Governance and Multilateralism
The Institute seeks to hire a scholar with an outstanding track record in
the field and an interest in developing it further. Evidence of
contributions to overarching theoretical, empirical or methodological
issues pertaining to the field is expected. An interest in emerging and
transforming forms of global governance and multilateralism in areas of
particular contemporary relevance – such as AI and digital technologies,
migration or humanitarianism – is welcome. Candidates with a research focus
on Asia are encouraged to apply. Applicants must hold a PhD in
International Relations, Political Science or cognate disciplines. They
must have had experience with research, teaching, dissemination and
administration commensurate with a tenured associate professorship.
The successful applicant will be expected to lead the development of
research in their field at the Institute and beyond. Excellence in research
and publication is therefore essential. Evidence of research leadership
such as project management, editorships, evaluations, network facilitation,
mentoring, service to academic associations, research councils, advisory
boards and beyond is also an advantage.
The position also involves teaching postgraduate courses and supervising
master’s dissertations and PhD theses in the Department of International
Relations/Political Science. Candidates must therefore be able to offer
general courses in the department and have supervision experience.
Moreover, they will teach classes and supervise master’s dissertations in
the interdisciplinary programmes and they may be called upon to teach in
the executive education programmes of the Institute. Experience with and
interest in interdisciplinary and transvocational education are therefore
appreciated.
The teaching language is either English or French. Prior knowledge of
French is not required, but the successful candidate is expected to acquire
at least a passive knowledge of it within two years of being hired.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic and diverse environment. The
International Relations/Political Science Department houses a wide range of
theoretical, conceptual, methodological and empirical perspectives. It
cultivates academic excellence by encouraging inquiries that challenge
established theoretical and empirical boundaries. Its members are therefore
expected both to be open to – and respectful of – multiple, evolving
research agendas and pedagogies and to develop high quality research in a
specialised area. Overall, the department offers a lively, inclusive and
inspiring space for researchers to develop and thrive.
