We are looking for philosophers, economists and political scientists to teach and supervise theses in the Philosophy, Politics and Economics programme at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. You will be allocated four students who will follow a short thesis tutorial course from you on a topic that is relevant to PPE and close to your teaching and research interests. In this course, students will write a literature review and a thesis proposal, both of which you will assess. Subsequently, you will supervise these four students as they write their thesis. This will take place in the context of both individual and group meetings. You will assess the theses from your group of four students, and you will function as second reader for four other theses. The overall workload is 105 hours (which is roughly the equivalent of a 4,5 EC course) spread out over periods 5 and 6, which runs from March 28th through July 15th.

Minimum requirements is a PhD in a relevant field. Teaching is also in person, so presence in Amsterdam is required. If you are interested, please send an email to VUPPEthesis@gmail.commailto:VUPPEthesis@gmail.com with a CV, statement of research interests, and one or more potential topics/fields for thesis subjects.
We invite expressions of interest before February 11. We will select the candidates as soon as the number of students is known, which will be around February 15.
