Suitable candidates have completed or almost completed a PhD in political science, preferably in the area of comparative politics, with an empirical-analytical focus.

I also expect some teaching experience at the university level, ability to work independently and in teams, and very good English skills. Knowledge on modern methods of causal inference and/or Computational Social Science and first experience in acquiring external funding are assets.
