[Hommels, Anique (TSS) via Eurograd]

Dear all,

Our Department has a vacancy for an Assistant Professor in STS!

 

Do you recognise yourself in the following profile?

• Strong STS research profile. You have an excellent research track record in Science, Technology and Society studies, with a clear focus on sustainability and environmental challenges, including their infrastructural, technological, political, knowledge, and/or material dimensions.
• Methodological expertise. You bring extensive social science methodological skills, particularly in qualitative approaches such as interviews, historical document analysis, controversy studies, community-oriented research, and (multi-species) ethnography.
• Teaching excellence and engagement. You are enthusiastic about teaching at both BA and MA level, with experience in STS education, course development, thesis supervision, and teaching in international classrooms. You are able to stimulate student learning and to maximize student participation in our system of small-scale Problem Based Learning (PBL). A University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) is preferred. 
• Academic citizenship and collaboration. You actively contribute to the STS community through publications, conference participation, and involvement in professional associations, and you value collaboration and open science.
• Professional qualifications and mindset. You hold a PhD in an interdisciplinary STS-related field, have postdoctoral experience, publish in highly regarded STS journals, are fluent in English (C1 level), and are willing to learn Dutch (B1 level). You are prepared to relocate to the Maastricht region and support UM’s core values of academic citizenship, team performance, and personal and professional leadership.
