The Vincent Wright Chair
Call for Applicants for a 1-semester Professorship in Paris

Applications are invited from academics currently employed in a British university or research institute for the annual Vincent Wright Chair for a period of six months from January–June 2015.
During his lifetime, Vincent Wright played a very considerable part in orienting comparative research in Europe. The aim of this Chair is to develop comparative research within a European framework, reflecting the innovative spirit, sense of humour and intellectual curiosity which characterised the man.
The Chair aims to reinforce and consolidate Franco-British academic co-operation in one of the five following areas:
- Economics
- Contemporary History
- Political Science
- Sociology
- Law
The successful candidate will be invited to lecture at both undergraduate and graduate level for approx. 4 hours per week over a 12 week semester. The approach will most likely be comparative and lectures may be given in either English or French.
The successful candidate will also be closely associated with academic activity at Sciences Po and its Research Centres. See Sciences Po’s website - www.sciences-po.fr for further details on Centres and research interests.
