The Europaeum is seeking to appoint new Teaching Fellows to assist with the delivery of our Future Leaders of Europe / Europaeum Scholars’ Programme. This is an exciting opportunity to work with some of the most talented doctoral candidates in Europe, helping us to deliver our world-class programme, which is designed to produce a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and researchers who have the capacity to shape the future of Europe for the better. You would work in a unique multidisciplinary and international environment, providing guidance and support to multidisciplinary groups.
The Programme runs for eighteen months alongside participants’ existing doctoral programmes. It places a strong emphasis on policy making (cultural, economic, political, social) and linking academics with practitioners from a range of different fields. Those selected for the programme should have excellent academic track records and have a demonstrable interest in Europe and the public good.
About the role: The successful applicants would initially join the Programme for our modules in Oxford and/or Brussels.
- In Oxford, the Teaching Fellows will be expected to attend talks and workshops related to leadership, ethics, and policy and then moderate group discussions of the key themes arising, in small groups of 7 or 8.
- In Brussels, the Teaching Fellows will participate in visits to EU institutions and attend talks with the Scholars, before moderating group discussions and possibly also co-supervising a short policy research task.
The Oxford module is scheduled for 13 to 18 July 2026 and the Brussels module will be held from 7 to 12 September 2026.
Subject to performance and the topics of the group projects, successful applicants may also be invited to join subsequent modules in Budapest, Geneva, Luxembourg, and Helsinki/Lammi.
Requirements: Candidates must be based at a Europaeum member university or, if working in another university or outside the Higher Education sector, be able to demonstrate a very strong connection to one of our current or recent members. They must have a background in the Humanities or Social Sciences and have received a doctorate within the last seven years (excluding any periods of parental leave) OR be of equivalent academic standing and have experience of policy making. They must have excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
We would not normally consider candidates, however qualified, who are currently doctoral students.

Application deadline: Friday 24 April 2026 by 23.59 GMT.
