We seek candidates in any of the following areas: * Ecological transitions in a multi-level governance context * The (des)integration of ecological issues across policy sectors and their organizations * Expertise and knowledge contributing to the policy process * The role of social movements and mobilizations in ecological transitions * The social and political transformative effects of ecological policies The appointee will hold a PhD. He or She will be able to conduct empirical and theoretical investigations to explore ecological transition politics (climate, energy, biodiversity, pollution, circular economy) in a comparative perspective, focusing especially on Europe. We welcome applications from excellent candidates in the field, with a strong international experience and advanced publication records in comparative political research and methods (qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods). DUTIES Research: The appointee is expected to develop her or his research among the four major research areas of the CEE: * Transformations of Capitalism; * The State as a producer or Public Policies; * Cities, Borders and (im)Mobilities; * Tensions in Representative Democracy. The appointee will be fully integrated into the Sciences Po Interdisciplinary Research Programme on the Environment [AIRE], as well as in the Centre for Earth Politics (Centre des Politiques de la Terre) established between Sciences Po and Université de Paris. Teaching and Service: Applicants must be able to teach in English at the graduate level on the Paris Campus and at the undergraduate level in one of the seven Sciences Po Campuses.
