The Department of Government at the University of Bergen wishes to recruit a tenure-track associate professor in political science specializing in the sub-field of political behavior. This is a 7-year fixed-term position, with the aim of promotion to a permanent full professor position at the end of the period. The Faculty and the Department are committed to facilitating the development of the qualifications needed for promotion within teaching, research, and dissemination for the successful applicant.

We are looking to hire an excellent early career scholar with a PhD in political science or equivalent background. The successful applicant has research plans that will benefit from data to be generated at DIGSSCORE and is expected to contribute to the scientific leadership and development of the research infrastructure(s). The candidate is expected to be able to teach and supervise at all levels at the Department, and to contribute fresh ideas on how to use data generated at DIGSSCORE in teaching.

Applicants

  • must hold a PhD in political science, or equivalent, ideally obtained within the last 5 years (may be extended due to parental leaves or similar leaves of absence).
  • must include a 2-page summary of a clear and well-developed research plan for the tenure track period, demonstrating the use of data to be generated at DIGSSCORE.
  • will be assessed positively for research leadership experience, including the ability to obtain and manage grants, appropriate to the career stage.
  • will be assessed positively for experience with supervision and teaching in political science, and any completed formal pedagogical training.
  • must be proficient in English, both oral and written. Knowledge of a Scandinavian language is an advantage, as the online surveys at DIGSSCORE are in Norwegian.

The selected candidate is expected to live and work in the Bergen region and contribute actively to activities at the department.

Basic pedagogical training and experience in the supervision of students at the university level are normally a requirement for qualifying as Associate Professor (link). Applicants should document any completed pedagogical training. Relevant courses in combination with actual teaching experience can compensate for completed formal course(s) in teaching, skills in planning, implementation, evaluation, and development of teaching and student supervision. If you do not have such competence at the time of appointment, you will be required to fulfill such training within the tenure track period.

Your application must include:

  • A cover letter stating your motivation for applying, your most important research results, and your teaching experience (2-3 pages)
  • A Curriculum Vitae
  • A two-page overview of research plans for the tenure track position
  • A complete list of publications
  • Up to five scientific publications and/or research papers at advanced stages of preparation.
  • Certified copies/transcripts of diplomas and certificates documenting award of main degrees (PhD, MA)
  • A teaching portfolio providing an overview of teaching experience and pedagogical qualifications - please fill out the form under the headline " your application must include" (to be uploaded with your application), by clicking the ‘Apply’ button.
  • The contact details of at least two references, one of which should normally be the main PhD supervisor

The closing date is March 1st, 2023, Mark the application 2023/176.
