Dear colleagues,
The University of Fribourg is advertising a vacancy for a professorship (open rank) in Comparative Politics with a focus on Eastern Europe. The deadline for applications is 15 August 2023.
As Fribourg operates as a bilingual French-German university, the postholder will need to be fluent in one of these two languages and have a good passive knowledge of the other.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about the position.
Best wishes,
Natasha Wunsch

Professeure ordinaire / Ordentliche Professorin
