Profile: The position is open to applicants fully trained in history who are capable of developing a research and teaching program in digital history.

DUTIES
Research

The selected candidate will specifically be tasked with coordinating the CHSP’s Corpus, archives, campus research cluster.

Teaching
In addition to courses in methodology, the selected candidate will teach ones in his/her field of historical research. Courses will be taught at the three levels of education offered at Sciences Po in Paris, and at the undergraduate level at the regional campuses. The recruited Assistant Professor (AP) will be able to partner with any of the other schools interested in introducing a historical perspective to the understanding of their subjects, and in benefiting from the added value of the historian’s savoir-faire in source criticism with regard to the digital humanities and big data. The AP will also be expected to teach courses at the School of Management and Innovation (EMI) and to lead a history masters-level seminar.

Annual teaching duties are 128 master class-equivalent (CM) hours that can be divided into three 24-hour master classes and 56 CM hours of complementary pedagogical services. During their first three tenure-track years, Assistant Professors’ annual duty is reduced to 88 CM hours

The application must include the following documents:

  • A cover letter
  • A CV
  • Three prominent publications (articles or book chapters).
