Professional Role

The advertised position involves teaching and research in international operational law. A specific task will be to contribute to the internationalisation of research and teaching, to the development and implementation of a new LL.M. programme in international and operational law and to the development of an increased digitalization of CIOL’s work. The position also involves some administrative tasks at CIOL.
