Visiting Faculty
Each year, around a hundred researchers and professors from around the world come to conduct their research and teach at Sciences Po. They are fully integrated into Sciences Po’s research activities, whether their stay lasts a few weeks or a full year.
Call for Applications
Sciences Po is calling for outstanding applications for visiting faculty from around the world. Every year, a diverse array of calls for applications are open to faculty across disciplines, across fields of interests, coming from all continents or from identified partner universities or regions of the world countries.

Visiting faculty will be given access to an office space on campus, to the Sciences Po library and other University facilities, and to the research activity and events program for the relevant Department. Specifications may however vary from one program to another, including financial conditions, so please read carefully the details of each application.
