Tenure track faculty position in Teaching Global Issues, Graduate School of International Studies, Université Laval, Quebec City, Canada. Deadline: 30 September 2025.
The Graduate School of International Studies at Université Laval, located in Quebec City, Canada, invites applications for a faculty position in teaching global issues. The selected candidate will hold the Teaching Leadership Chair in Global Issues and will work in collaboration with the Faculty of Business Administration.
The Chair is dedicated to advancing pedagogical innovation and fostering critical thinking in both teaching and research. Its goal is to train students capable of analyzing the complexity of contemporary international dynamics. The selected candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the school’s academic programs, producing knowledge in the field of international studies, and developing innovative teaching practices that benefit not only students, but also professionals, institutions, and members of the public engaged with global challenges.
Global issues encompass a wide range of pressing and interconnected problems that define the landscape of international relations. These include the dynamics, actors, and institutions involved in collective responses to today’s global governance challenges. Areas of expertise sought by the school include, but are not limited to, the following: global health and health security; climate governance, energy, and sustainable development; conflicts below the threshold of war (e.g., cyberattacks, propaganda, subversion, disinformation, sanctions, etc.); international migration and migration policies; transformation of the international order and reform of global institutions.
The study of global issues is inherently interdisciplinary and draws on a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches. It seeks to enhance understanding of the increasing interdependence of societies, as well as the enduring tensions between state sovereignty and the imperative for international cooperation. From a pedagogical standpoint, the Chair will use innovative and cutting-edge techno-pedagogical tools to help students engage more effectively with complex global phenomena.
A research advisor will support the Chair in developing, planning, and submitting research grant applications, while also ensuring the Chair’s outreach activities are maximized. A budget will also be allocated to provide doctoral scholarships associated with the Chair.
