You have a PhD in Law/Legal Studies possibly supplemented by training in another discipline within the humanities – preferably in criminology.
You have a proven track record in university teaching, with evidence where possible by formal evaluations. Your scientific experience is demonstrated by publications of international standing.
You have supplemented this with an extended stay or significant experience abroad, outside the institution that awarded your doctorate.
You have significant experience of criminal law practice (as a barrister, judge or in an equivalent role) in Belgium.
You have recognised expertise in situations of vulnerability, viewed at the intersection of fundamental rights, security requirements and the effectiveness of legal standards. This interest relates both to vulnerable groups (children, persons deprived of their liberty, people with mental health issues, etc.) and to the structural contexts (climate change, migration dynamics, health crises, economic precarity, etc.) that generate or exacerbate these situations.
You are comfortable working as part of a team of academics and integrate research results into your teaching. You are creative, open to pedagogical innovation and multidisciplinary. In particular, you are able to teach legal subjects to students with limited knowledge of law
You are capable of conducting high-level scientific research, from obtaining funding to team management. You are able to approach your work from an interdisciplinary perspective, demonstrating an openness to methodologies from the social sciences (in particular criminology, sociology, political science and psychology).
You can communicate in French and English. If this is not the case, you undertake to acquire a command of these two languages within two years of taking up your position. Knowledge of other languages, such as in particular Dutch, is an asset.
