The candidate will be expected to teach in both programmes. We especially invite International Relations specialists or historians of contemporary international relations with a clear interest in / experience with the external policies of the European Union, to apply.

The Rijksmuseum’s model ship and scale-model collection is one of the most prominent maritime collections in the world.

Such models were tools in the process of designing and constructing new naval vessels. These models were initially kept in the Marinemodellenkamer (Naval Models Room) in The Hague. This collection was soon expanded to include unique model ships from the 17th and 18th centuries, technical tools, weapons and captured standards. With the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, a significant part of this collection is once again on show to the general public, for the first time in almost a century. Over the past thirty years, intensive efforts have been made to fully treat and describe the approximately 1600 objects that make up this collection. In 2014, this work will culminate in the publication of a catalogue of the entire collection.

Groningen's international and internationally renowned American Studies faculty has previously taught at Harvard, Brown, and Louisiana State University (US), University of Glasgow (UK), York University (Canada), Göttingen University (Germany). Our faculty has shaped the way in which American Studies teaching and research is carried out across The Netherlands and beyond.

Candidates should submit a research proposal (max. 1500 words, excl. bibliography) which directly relates to the profile of the department as described above.
