The Amsterdam Law School is recruiting an established and internationally recognized scholar with a vision on and ambition in interdisciplinary research and education in the field of labour regulation in a broad, transitional perspective (‘future of work’). The candidate will play a leading role in further developing the research agenda as well as the educational programme and will provide leadership to the Section Labour Law.

Job description

The Chair Regulation of Labour will be part of the Department of Information Law and Labour Law (section Labour Law) of the Law School. The section Labour Law strives to be a renowned scientific knowledge institution for the study of regulation and organisation of labour in a wide perspective. The section has a strong international orientation, and its research and education are highly relevant to Dutch practice. The section encompasses two groups that were merged in 2018: the Amsterdam Institute for Labour Studies (AIAS) and the Hugo Sinzheimer Institute (HSI). The section Labour Law is the largest, most interdisciplinary group of scholars working in the field of regulation of labour in the Netherlands. It has a scientific staff of approximately 12 FTEs, divided over 17 staff members (4 professors, 1 associate professor, 2 assistant professors, 4 lecturers and 6 researchers). There are currently 6 internal PhD students and 6 external PhD students. In addition, a group of about 10 guest staff members is involved in research and education. The staff of the section consists of researchers and lecturers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including lawyers, economists and political scientists. The section is supported by a business operations manager and a secretary. It is currently headed by an interim Chair.

The prospective Chair will have the following tasks:

leading and further developing the section's international research on labour regulation as part of an interdisciplinary research-agenda;
independently conducting research on the regulation of labour;
stimulating, obtaining funding for and carrying out research in the 2nd and 3rd flow of funds;
leading the repositioning of the master's programme in Labour Law, as well as postgraduate courses, partly from an interdisciplinary perspective;
supervising young teachers in their teaching;
leading the section;
conducting a transparent personnel, financial and administrative policy;
participating in the board at faculty and university level.

The prospective Chair must in particular meet the following requirements:

a PhD or equivalent degree in the field of labour studies; candidates with a scientific background other than law should be able to demonstrate a close affinity with law;
a proven ability to engage in cutting edge research in issues related to regulation of labour at a theoretical and/or empirical level;
a proven interest in interdisciplinary research;
the capability to initiate and organise new research by identifying innovative research themes;
a documented excellence in research through publications in top international and/or national journals;

commitment to stimulating and supervising PhD research;
excellent educational capacities, as evidenced, among other things, by evaluations and educational qualifications;
ability to provide appealing and activating education, in the field of the regulation of labour;
ability to provide good English-language education;
strong leadership skills (a connector, accessible, a good listener and communicator, innovative and flexible, and decisive ) and willingness to further build a promising interdisciplinary research group on labour regulation;
good managerial, organisational and managerial qualities and the willingness to use these at the various levels of governance.

The Chair will provide leadership in a section and law school that both in terms of education and day to day management in large part operate in Dutch. A successful candidate who is not native in Dutch should be committed to master passive Dutch within a reasonable time.
