Luxembourg Université du Luxembourg Temps plein

The Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg is looking for a PhD candidate to conduct research in Philosophy of Law or Theory of Law.

Your Role...

The doctoral researcher will be working under the supervision of Professor Johan van der Walt. The doctoral researcher's main task will be to prepare a doctoral thesis in the field of philosophy of law and more specifically the theory of liberal democratic law. The thesis work will be undertaken at the University of Luxembourg but can also be jointly-supervised with another university. The suggested theme of the PhD concerns the challenge that liberal democratic law-making faces in a time of populist and/or climate politics. The candidate is, however, welcome to suggest any other topic within the field of legal theory. The doctoral candidate will contribute to the teaching of classes ranging from one to three hours per week, of small group teachings and tutorials.

Qualifications...

We are looking for a candidate with demonstrated interest in legal theory and philosophy of law. In particular, the following requirements apply:

  • A Master's Degree in legal theory or constitutional law
  • Have the linguistic skills to evolve in a multilingual environment: fluency in either English or French, good understanding of the second language and possibly a third language, German in particular, will be considered an advantage
  • Excellent communication and writing skills
