The Faculty of Social Sciences encompasses various sociological teaching and research domains, including the Social Research Center.

Position Profile
The successful candidate will possess a well-defined sociological research profile, with significant connections to transformative social research and the core themes of the Social Research Center. A research orientation that integrates practical approaches with theoretical reflection is highly desirable. Additionally, the candidate is expected to be willing to assume a leadership role within the Social Research Center in the future. Engagement in research networks and collaborations both within and outside the university is anticipated, alongside a commitment to fostering the academic community. Participation in the faculty's teaching activities is also expected.
