We are looking for a full professor who can strengthen our profile in the multidisciplinary and shifting field of anthropology and development studies.

You will push the intellectual boundaries in studying societal change as well as contribute to decolonising change by making our department a place to rethink and craft alternative, more inclusive futures in response to numerous national and global challenges and opportunities.

To advance our commitment to decolonising change, you will be expected to contribute to four core areas (teaching, research, societal impact, and management and academic leadership) and have professional experience and networks outside of academia.

You will deliver and develop high-quality, innovative and impactful teaching to students across the curriculum.

When developing new courses, you will have a clear vision on educational innovation, in particular on creative and blended learning methods.

You actively contribute in this way to preparing students for their professional future roles as researchers and/or stimulators of change.

Finally, you will promote further internationalisation of the degree programs, and make your expertise available to the AMID post-graduate Programme.

You will be expected to have extensive experience with the co-creation of knowledge, bringing together academic and societal partners, such as non-government organisations, welfare assistance organisations, and companies.

To advance this, you will be expected to be part of multiple academic and societal networks, actively contributing to the co-creation of knowledge and practices in wider societal contexts, both in the Netherlands and abroad.

Key to your academic leadership style is a commitment to carry out together with ADS management (department chair and programme director), staff and faculty.

You will consider management as a group responsibility, and therefore share administrative work.

Through your behaviour and values, you will promote an inclusive and socially safe work environment, as well as actively stimulate talent development and team spirit.

You will commit to living in or near Nijmegen, participating in Dutch society and learning the language (if not a Dutch speaker).

For a full profile of this position, see the file attached below.

Profile
You hold a doctoral degree and have proven excellence in teaching and research.

You have demonstrated leadership skills and management qualities, including the ability to motivate staff members and to advance academic collaboration in multidisciplinary teams.

You have a broad and thorough knowledge of the field of anthropology and development studies, and a clear vision on the future of cutting-edge research in these fields.

You have extensive research experience in anthropology and development studies and have gained a strong international reputation, as evidenced by editorial positions, fellowships, key note invitations, and external grants.

You have ideas and plans for cross-disciplinary research in the social sciences.

You have an extensive knowledge of and experience with field research and a broad range of methodological procedures for research.

You have an outstanding track record of publications in peer reviewed (open access) academic journals and books.

You know how to coordinate courses and manage educational programmes, and are experienced in organising and delivering teaching to Bachelor's and Master's students.

You hold a Dutch senior university teaching qualification, or an equivalent qualification, or the willingness to acquire one.
You have a proven record of supervising doctoral students to successful completion.

You have an excellent command of Dutch and English, both spoken and written (or the willingness to learn the Dutch language within two years).

You are familiar with knowledge dissemination and valorisation of knowledge in cooperation with various social partners.

You have a network of contacts and experience with creating value for society and disseminating scientific knowledge to a broad audience.

You endorse the mission statement and strategy of Radboud University as well as the strategy pursued by the faculty.
