Your responsibilities
The senior lecturer will be primarily responsible for offering a teaching portfolio in digital public governance. The teaching load is 8 hours per week during the teaching periods (2x14 weeks per year) plus supervision of BA and MA thesis. The successful candidate should offer a broad portfolio of substantive and methodological courses (including qualitative and quantitative methods) and seminars at all levels. The position is expected to teach interdisciplinary and interdepartmental courses for students from across the social and behavioral sciences, including but not limited to political science, philosophy, psychology, communication and media research, or sociology. We also expect the development of an independent, international research agenda in digital public governance. In addition, contributions to usual departmental service obligations (committees, hiring etc.) are expected. This is an independent, non-professorial teaching and research position not attached to a specific chair.
Your profile
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in political science, public administration, or closely related fields at the time of application and have a strong record of academic achievements in the relevant areas. We are looking specifically for individuals with a strong qualitative empirical background in teaching and research. Successful candidates are expected to be able to teach courses covering a diverse range of topics related to the digitalization of public administrations and behavioral aspects of citizen-state interactions across disciplinary boundaries, including courses on normative and ethical aspects. And they should be comfortable offering methodologically oriented courses on state-of-the-art qualitative and quantitative approaches. Teaching may be carried out in English, but proficient knowledge of German is expected latest after two years. The University of Zurich aims to increase the proportion of women and diversity in research and teaching, and thus explicitly invites applications from suitably qualified individuals.
