The Hertie School of Governance, Berlin
A European Professional School for Public Policy is recruiting an
Assistant Professor of Governance of Digitalization and Energy Policy

Funded by Karl Schlecht Stiftung

The Hertie School of Governance is an international teaching and research center of excellence that prepares students for leadership positions in government, business, and civil society. An internationally recruited faculty, interdisciplinary in outlook, research, and teaching, offers analytically challenging and practice-oriented courses on governance, policy analysis, management, and leadership. As a professional school, Hertie School faculty has a strong commitment to high-quality teaching. Our goal is to help students grow intellectually in a professional, research-intensive environment, characterized by public debate and engagement.

The Hertie School is recruiting a junior scholar for a position in the emerging field of governance in the areas of digitalization and energy policy, understood in a broad way. The professorship is dedicated to digitalization with a focus on energy policy, considering both opportunities and risks digital changes entail for modern energy and mobility systems, including smart cities and similar infrastructure developments. The recruitment committee will consider profiles combining a disciplinary background in social science (e.g. political science, public administration, sociology, management, and economics) with expertise in the governance of digitalization and the energy / digitalization interface. In addition, the candidate is expected to engage with other professorships established by the Karl Schlecht Stiftung in Germany, as appropriate. The candidate will also contribute to public debates on digitalization and energy policies in Germany and beyond. The position is full-time, for up to six years, with a mid-term evaluation, and may be extended. The expected start date is 1 January 2017.

Applicants should hold or expect to receive a doctoral degree before the position begins. We are interested in candidates who demonstrate the capacity for independent research at the highest levels in their discipline, either through an established record of publication in top outlets or, for very junior candidates, unpublished writing samples. The Hertie School seeks faculty with a commitment to intensive, high-quality teaching and innovative research of potential interest to the international scholarly community and policy-makers. Candidates are expected to show full commitment to working in an interdisciplinary, international environment with English as the language of instruction and operation. The successful candidate will teach courses in the School's Master, Executive, and PhD programmes.

We offer an internationally competitive salary in line with the candidate's qualifications, excellent working conditions, a vibrant research environment, and a lively community of policy debate in the political heart of Germany.

The Hertie School particularly encourages applications from female scholars and from candidates with international backgrounds.

The deadline for submission of applications is 22 May 2016. The Hertie School will review applications that include a letter of motivation and a current curriculum vitae (publication list, degrees earned, if applicable: positions held, teaching experience, research projects, awards received), two writing samples and, if applicable, teaching evaluations or any other evidence of teaching. Candidates should include three letters of recommendation from professors who are familiar with their work. The job talks and interviews will take place between 6 and 8 July 2016 in Berlin. Invited candidates will be asked to submit a research and teaching plan as well as to prepare a presentation based on a current research paper.

Please send your application to facultyrecruitment@hertie-school.org, indicating where you found the advertisement.
