Program Learning to read ACBS – Call for Applications Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique Faculté de Gouvernance Sciences Economiques & Sociales Approche Pédagogique

The project starts from an observation: the results of the Moroccan education system regarding writing, reading and counting remain unsatisfactory, even compared to countries with a similar level of economic development. The objective of the program is, firstly, to draw a diagnosis of the difficulties encountered by public policies concerning education, and more specifically, young children’s learning of writing, reading and counting. The diagnostic phase will focus in particular on the teaching itself, in all its dimensions, as it is practiced in the classroom, and on the proximate and distant variables (social, economic, cognitive, interactional) that influence it. The program aims, after this first phase, to use results from both cognitive sciences and sociological observations of teaching practices to draw new guidelines for teaching young Moroccan children to read and write Arabic and to count. These guidelines will then be tested in experimental schools located in socially disadvantaged areas. The experiment itself will allow to refine and codify the guidelines for use by other teachers.

Political Sociology

Open to new ideas. Since 1365. As a research university with high international visibility and a wide range of degree programmes, the University of Vienna is committed to basic research open to application and research-led teaching, as well as to career development of young researchers and to the dialogue with economy and society. That way, the University of Vienna contributes to the education of future generations and to the society’s ability to innovate.

The appointment of particularly qualified researchers to university professors is an important strategy of the University of Vienna. Become part of this vibrant and future-oriented organisation.

At the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Vienna the position of a University Professor of Political Sociology (full time, permanent position) is to be filled.

The professorship shall represent research and teaching in the field of ‚Political Sociology‘. The theoretical and empirical research should focus on sociological analyses, which take into account social conditions and societal impacts of policies and politics in general.
Potential priorities include socio-political dynamics, development of political orientations as well as solidarity in contemporary societies.
Particular attention will be given to the integrability to the existing research areas of the Department, so that the professorship contributes to the development of the Department’s profile. It is expected that the future chair of ‚Political Sociology‘ makes an outstanding internationally oriented contribution to the field, shows engagement in teaching activities in all stages of study (BA, MA and PhD level) and contributes to the development of the Department.

Successful candidates should have the following qualifications:

· Enthusiasm for excellent teaching, teaching experience at universities as well as the ability and willingness to teach students in all phases of their studies (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral level), to supervise academic theses and to promoting young academic colleagues

The University of Vienna expects the successful candidate to acquire, within three years, proficiency in German sufficient for teaching in bachelor’s programmes and for participation in university committees. In addition, the University of Vienna expects the successful candidate to be prepared to take over responsibility on the organisational level of the Faculty and the University, if necessary.

We offer:

· a negotiable and attractive salary (classification according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement for University Staff, allocation to job group A1; section 98 of the Universities Act 2002); the salary will be individually negotiated under consideration of the previous career development and the current income situation

· a dynamic research location with well-established research funding provisions

· attractive working conditions in a city with a high quality of life

· comprehensive advice and support in relation to finding an accommodation, change of schools and dual career

· a wide range of support services offered by central service institutions

The University of Vienna pursues a non-discriminatory employment policy and values equal opportunities, as well as diversity (http://diversity.univie.ac.at). The University puts special emphasis on increasing the number of women in senior and in academic positions.
