It carries a teaching load of two courses per academic year during the first three years and may include undergraduate or graduate courses in Paris or in one of the regional campuses of Sciences Po.

Sciences Po is an equal opportunity employer, aiming to increase the percentage of women in positions where they are underrepresented and committed to employing more people with physical challenges, who are strongly encouraged to apply.
