Subject: Vacancy Assistant Professor Environmental Governance
Dear colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to a vacancy for an Assistant Professor in Environmental Governance at the Netherlands Open University.
The faculty of Management, Science & Technology at the Open University of the Netherlands (OUNL) is looking for an
Assistant professor Environmental Governance (F/M, 0,8 fte) for 4 years, with the possibility of a permanent contract afterwards. The successful candidate will become part of the Department of Science, a small but ambitious group focused on sustainability
challenges. The group wants to contribute to the resolution of societal problems through excellent research and teaching programs. The educational programs of the Department have been evaluated as the best in the Netherlands for years. The Department has similarly
high ambitions in the realm of research, as witnessed by its very active participation in the OUNL Research programs on "Resilience, Learning and Innovation" and “Safety and the City”. We are looking for enthusiastic applicants who will help us enhance the
profile of the OUNL, and who have the qualities to contribute new energy and ideas to our teaching and research lines.
The assistant professor will play an important role in both the teaching and research programs of the OUNL. The research of the Department specifically is aimed at developing a better understanding of the origins of policy innovations, their pathways of diffusion,
and their actual impacts in terms of sustainability. The candidate we seek has proven research skills in the field of environmental governance and has an active interest in the theme of (policy) innovation, that is, new modes of governance, new goals, and
new instruments. The Department hosts both a B.Sc. and a M.Sc.- program in Environmental Sciences (online education) and the assistant professor will be responsible for several courses, and is to provide additional teaching inputs where needed (thesis supervision,
new courses, certified professional programs).
The deadline for applications is September the 1st. Full details can be found here
