Lecturer French Language and Culture Maastricht School of European Studies

Today, Zuyd is educating over 13,000 talents for the professions of tomorrow. Knowledge is only half the job. It is equally important that they are able to apply what we teach. That vision is tangible in everything we do and in what you will do in your job as a coach and lecturer of French Language and Culture. For instance, in our close cooperation with companies, organisations and government bodies. Within our region, but also and especially within Europe and beyond. Is that your view on education as well? Then chances are that you will feel right at home at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences.

You are ready to let the new generation of professionals experience what innovative education feels like. To send them into the world with the sure knowledge that they have an excellent fit with professional practise and the demands from the labour market. The combination of knowledge and its application gives you energy. We will give you room to transfer your passion for your expertise area onto a new group of talents. They will flourish through your passionate lectureship. Just like you will yourself.
In an ideal world, you are (near) native speaker and have an excellent command of English. You have a degree (Master/ PhD) in French Language and Culture and work experience in the French Language and Culture domain. Preferably you have teaching experience (1 – 5 years) and you are experienced in digital (blended) learning techniques.

The Maastricht School of European Studies consists of a multidisciplinary and interculturally diverse team of approximately 25 employees offering a four-year full-time Bachelor programme preparing the next generation of young professionals to become a connector between government, business, and civil society to tackle contemporary societal challenges, across geographical and disciplinary borders.
Your job would entail teaching and coaching students to undertake the task to formulate sustainable policy advice on the basis of quantitative research. This implies: Teaching and coaching students to work together on improving their command of French Language and Culture (in a professional European environment) and Assessing student products. Other tasks can be discussed based on your expertise and experience, such as: Coaching and advising students during research projects, theses, and internships, contributing to the curriculum development in the above-mentioned areas, including assessment and development of assessment tools and any other tasks that may fit your specific expertise/experience.

We would want to start with this position as a year contract, but of course it is our intention to offer you a permanent contract later with good performance and unchanged business conditions. It concerns a position 0.4 – 0.6 FTE. Depending on your specific expertise and availability, we may decide together to deviate from this. The salary is maximised at scale 11. That means a maximum amount of € 5,332.48 gross per month on the basis of 1.0 FTE.
