EschsurAlzette, Luxembourg Forward College (Paris Campus) Temps plein

FORWARD COLLEGE is an innovative Higher Education Institution designed for bright students who wish to achieve academic excellence but also nurture their practical, technological, social, and emotional intelligences. We leverage the whole spectrum of human intelligences: cognitive intelligence to analyse and solve complex problems; social intelligence to engage people across different fields of expertise and backgrounds; emotional intelligence to manage one’s balance, be mindful of others, and nurture creativity; and practical intelligence to implement projects effectively, harness technology, and deliver lasting change. Our students embark on a rotating programme of studies for their degree (‘3 years - 3 cities’), spending a year each in Lisbon, Paris, and Berlin.

Forward college aims to blend tradition (for excellence) and innovation (for relevance):
Our double degree programme combines
- A fully accredited academic BSc designed by the London School of Economics and awarded by the University of London. Teaching material is delivered to Forward students in-house at Forward College in small groups (max. 15 students), adopting a ‘flipped classroom’ approach.
- A highly innovative Bachelor in Business Leadership (BBL), including a range of student-led practical projects.

Our teaching approach combines
- A bespoke tuition with a **student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1** with small group classes (15 on average) and weekly one-on-one tutoring (for the academic BA/BSc)
- Innovative approaches such as peer to peer, personal development, and project-based learning (for the BBL); digital learning and flipped classroom (for the BSc/BA).

As an Assistant Professor (Teaching) on our Paris Campus you will support students’ ambitions and achievements in their BSc in Economics, BSc in Economics and Politics, and BSc in Business & Management. More specifically you will have a demonstrated ability to teach at least two of the following core courses in Economics:

- **EC2020 Elements of econometrics**
- **EC2065 Macroeconomics***
- **EC2066 Microeconomics**
- **IR3210 International political economy**

Collaborating with existing Faculty members, and under the guidance of the Teaching and Learning Coordinator and Academic Director, the post holder will be responsible for
- Translating the curriculum designed by the London School of Economics into Forward innovative teaching approach
- Designing and implementing the flipped classroom sessions throughout the academic year (15 students / class)
- Designing tests and formative assessments that will support students in achieving learning outcomes throughout the academic year (September-May)
- Scheduling regular one-on-one tutoring sessions for students, in order to deliver personalised feedback on progress
- Organising talks and conferences with experts in their field of expertise for the benefit of Forward’s students and staff
- Carry our research in your field and/or in the area of pedagogical innovation. Applicants will allocate around 30% of their time to research.
- Contribute to administrative tasks associated with the position

The appointment will be at the level of a tenure-track Assistant Professor for two years, leading to a permanent appointment after the completion of a tenure review process after 24 months.
