Call for Applications for Gender Studies Visiting Faculty

Visiting Faculty Stay at Sciences Po, Paris

Application deadline: September 11, 2023.

Applications are open for 1-semester stays planned in the 2024 Spring Semester or 2024 Fall Semester.

Sciences Po’s Gender Studies Programme, with Université Paris Cité, is calling for applications for visiting faculty from around the world.

Sciences Po is an international research university, ranking among the finest institutions in the fields of humanities and social sciences.

In the Spring 2024 (2023-24 academic year) and Fall 2024 (2023-25 academic year), Sciences Po will open two visiting faculty positions for up to a semester-long (12-weeks minimum). This Visiting Stay aims at fostering interdisciplinary opportunities, encouraging the development of new partnerships for collaborative research, as well as facilitating the mobility of English-speaking and French-speaking gender studies researchers towards France.

At Sciences Po, Gender Studies are organised through the PRESAGE Programme, a cross-cutting programme bringing together researchers from all disciplinary research units. The visiting faculty will be hosted in one of the Science Po research units (an exhaustive list can be found here), and will benefit from the dynamic of the researchers with diverse disciplinary backgrounds specialised in gender studies through PRESAGE and its activities with Université Paris Cité within the Cité du genre.

The Visiting programme is open to academics at any career stage and in any discipline. We encourage researchers from all around the globe, especially from the Global South, to apply.

CONDITIONS

Visiting faculty will receive an overall monthly stipend of 4.000 euros (before taxes).

Visiting faculty are expected to teach one full course with a gender lens (12 x 2-hours sessions) over the semester. They are also expected to contribute actively to the research community they will join, and to deliver at least one Public Lecture (for both Sciences Po and Université Paris Cité students) during their stay.

Visiting faculty will be given access to an office space on campus, in the heart of Paris, to the Sciences Po library and other University facilities and to the research activity and events programme driven by the research unit they will be hosted in.

The stay is to be scheduled between January, 2024 and May/June, 2024, or between August/September, 2024 and December, 2024.
