The Center for War Studies (University of Southern Denmark) is looking to fill two positions: An&#160;associate professorship&#160;(tenured) in&#160;international relations&#160;(job description&#160;here). The position could suit both scholars looking for a promotion (typically from a lectureship or senior lectureship in the British system) and aiming at becoming internationally recognized leaders in their fields, or more advanced scholars aiming at being qualified for a professorship in a timeframe to be discussed.An&#160;assistant professorship&#160;(tenure-track) in&#160;comparative politics. This position is perfect for recent PhDs with high potential looking for the opportunity to develop their own intellectual agenda. For an administrative reason beyond my understanding, the job description is not online yet, but it will be available&#160;here&#160;in a few days.&#160;Both positions will be located within the “international politics” section of the department of political science. The positions are open in terms of topical research interests and theoretical/methodological approaches, but candidates will be expected to contribute to the activities of the Center for War Studies. The typical teaching load without buy-out is 1-2 or 2-2 (depending on the balance with supervision and administrative duties) and researchers usually get a semester-long sabbatical every 5 or 6 semesters.  The University of Southern Denmark is a world-class research environment. It is ranked by Times Higher Education as the #1 Danish university for quality of teaching and student experience and the #2 Danish university for impact. Research-wise, public administration/political science is in the #51-75 bracket of the Shanghai ranking. Founded in 2012, the Center for War Studies is, with about 40 researchers from political science, law and the humanities, one of the leading research group in Europe dedicated to the study of war, combining excellence in research and policy relevance.  We are thus looking for candidates with well-defined research agendas, but also willing to contribute to the collective effort of the Center for War Studies.  I would be grateful if you could circulate this job announcement to potentially interested candidates. Please direct them to me if they want to have an informal discussion about the position(s).
