Faculty positions

A renowned center for education and research in the social sciences and humanities, Sciences Po is striving to reinforce and develop its academic profile by hiring thirty new faculty members of international standing within the next three year. In 2009, it began this campaign by opening twelve new positions, reforming the recruitment procedures and coordinating the needs of the different research and teaching units at the university level. In particular, all job openings have to be advertised internationally and preselected candidates will give job talks that are open to the entire academic community of Sciences Po. These public talks, which will be a complement to the formal audition in front of the selection committee assure a greater visibility and transparency of the recruitment procedure and allow for interdisciplinary exchange on the work of the candidates. The selection committees for both public and private positions are examined by an interdisciplinary committee and made public on the Sciences Po website. They are composed by internal and external members, both from area in which the recruitment takes place and from related fields to provide a balanced perspective on the merits of each candidate.
