Assistant Professor in Political History after 1500 - Utrecht University
By CIMA | May 16, 2009
Dear colleague
We have a position available for an Assistant Professor in Political History - see below. Would you be so kind to bring this to the attention of potential candidates?
Best regards, Ido de Haan
Faculty of Humanities
Utrecht University has developed into one of Europe’s largest and most prominent institutions for research and education. The Faculty of Humanities, with nearly 7.000 students and nearly 900 staff members, offers an inspiring and dynamic working environment. Our research and education programmes focus on language, culture, history, arts, literature, media, philosophy and theology, covering the period from classical antiquity to the present day. We pay special attention to interdisciplinary and international collaboration. The research programmes are organised in four institutes:
- Research Institute for History and Culture (OGC),
- Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS (UiL OTS),
- ZENO Research Institute for Philosophy,
- Research Institute for Theology and Religious Studies (INTEGON).
The Faculty of the Humanities consists of seven schools, including the school of History and Art History, offering both BA and MA degrees in these fields. The Utrecht University Graduate School of Humanities monitors and guarantees the outstanding quality of education programmes for Research Master and PhD students. Research
All faculty is appointed within one of seven departments. The historians within the Department of History and Art History are participating in the section for Ancient History, Medieval History, Cultural History after 1500, Social and Economic History after 1500, History of International Relations after 1500 or Political History after 1500.
The section of Political History offers a position for an:
Assistant Professor in Political History after 1500 (1,0 fte)
Job description
The Political History section of the Department of History and Art History has a full-time position available per 15 August 2009 for an Assistant Professor (‘universitair docent’) in Political History after 1500.
The Political History section is responsible for education and research in the field of political history after 1500. Politics is conceived in a broad sense, as the struggle between social sections in the context of institutional structures, cultural practices and social and economic developments. Much of the attention is focused on political relations within national states, fully aware however of the historical and varied nature of the state and its development, often in competition with other forms of political organization, like empires or city-states. Moreover, these ‘internal’ political relations are always conceptualized in connection with inter- and transnational political developments, in close collaboration with the section for the History of International Relations within the Department of History.
The members of the Political History section cover all periods from early modern to contemporary history, yet the history of the nineteenth and twentieth century is better represented than early modern history. Three themes receive special attention: the social and political aspects of war and violent conflict; political regime changes; and normative order and integration. These themes are also addressed in the contribution of the section for Political History to the Bachelor and Master curriculum of the History Department, as are perhaps more obvious topics, like the history of state formation and the history of political ideologies and movements.
Geographically, the focus of research and teaching is now on Western Europe, and often more particularly the Netherlands. The Political History section, however, seeks to broaden its geographical scope. Therefore, we are looking for an Assistant Professor working in early modern or modern history of Europe from an international and/or transnational perspective. We are particularly interested in historians working on areas like the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire, or Central and Eastern European history. Knowledge of other disciplines, like philosophy or the social sciences, is a bonus.
Qualifications
We look for experienced scholars with an established research and teaching background in History. The successful candidate
-
- is an authority in political history, as demonstrated by a PhD thesis in this domain and by publications in authoritative journals and books;
- is a qualified and stimulating teacher;
- has the potential to (further) develop a research line in modern political history;
- can raise external funding from national and international scientific grant institutions
- has an international scholarly network
- if from abroad, is able and willing to settle in the Netherlands and to learn Dutch.
Terms of employment
You will be assigned to courses on Bachelor and Masters level, for 60% of the appointment; the remaining 40% will be devoted to research. All faculty of the Department are required to contribute to committee work.
The appointment will be on a full-time tenure track contract. After one year on a temporary basis, there will be an assessment of performance based on established criteria concerning research and teaching. If the outcome of the assessment is positive, the assistant professor will be given a permanent appointment.
We offer a salary dependent on qualifications and work experiences from € 3195.- (scale 11) gross per month up to a maximum of € 4,970,- (scale 12) gross per month for a full-time position. The salary is supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% per year. In addition we offer: a pension scheme, a partially paid parental leave, and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch Universities.
