Lecturer (docent) in the field of global challenges and international justice, with a focus on statehood and integration (0,5 fte).

LUC The Hague seeks to appoint a lecturer (docent) to join the LUC staff for teaching primarily in its International Justice major and the first-year programme. The starting date is December 2025.

What you will do

  • Teach several courses, with an emphasis on the courses that are part of the ‘statehood and integration’ track of the International Justice major, and courses within the first-year Global Challenges programme.
  • Potentially supervise B.A. theses as well as teach in the shared ‘International Justice/World Politics’ track.

The lecturer should show clear affinity with the ‘Global Challenges’ focus of our programme, which is also linked to the profile of The Hague as ‘International City of Peace and Justice’. They should have a degree reflecting academic knowledge in the domain of international justice, with a focus on ‘statehood and integration’ (constitutional law, EU law, foreign relations law, etc.). In addition, they should also have some experience with societal engagement in these domains. LUC The Hague is Leiden University’s international honours college, which champions small-scale intensive teaching. Hence, strong commitment to teaching excellence is essential.

  • Teaching undergraduate students in our interdisciplinary honours programme as part of the compulsory first year programme as well as in the ‘statehood and integration’ track of the International Justice major, and potentially also the shared ‘International Justice/World Politics’ track.
  • Potentially supervising B.A. theses in the abovementioned fields.

Where you will work

The mission of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA)? Contributing to society. The faculty does this through high-quality interdisciplinary education and (new) scientific knowledge. Whether it is terrorism, security, artificial intelligence or a governance solution to the housing crisis, contemporary issues are comprehensively addressed at FGGA.

In the heart of The Hague, where important decisions are made, students and professionals come together to gain knowledge and skills. There is much collaboration with academic and societal partners, which ensures that students leave university with a smile and one foot in the future, ready to make a substantial contribution to society. FGGA is one of the seven faculties of Leiden University. This young, entrepreneurial, innovative organisation has three scientific institutes, two centres, over 3,700 students and 425 staff members.

Leiden University College The Hague (LUC) is the international English-language Honours College of Leiden University. Talented and motivated students from all over the world come to The Hague especially to take part in the innovative Liberal Arts and Science programme that focuses on today's global challenges. For more than a decade, LUC can count on a spot in the Keuzegids Universiteiten as the best-rated University College in the Netherlands. The academic staff, with diverse backgrounds and disciplines, have a passion for teaching and education in which the student is central.

What you bring

  • A master’s degree with very good results in a relevant area of studies related to international justice, with a focus on statehood and integration (constitutional law, EU law, foreign relations law, etc.);
  • Affinity with global challenges and interdisciplinarity. Some experience with or interest in international relations is a plus;
  • A passion for teaching in an international environment and demonstrated previous teaching experience;
  • Excellent command of English;
