PhD Seminar Series
How to access an academic legal career at universities in Europe and beyond, through an in-depth examination of diverse legal and academic cultures.
Abstract
This PhD seminar explores how to access an academic legal career at universities in Europe and beyond, through an in-depth examination of diverse legal and academic cultures. Each session focuses on one or two jurisdictions, presented by experts active within the respective systems. The seminar addresses questions shaping academic careers, including hiring conditions and pathways to access, social expectations placed on early-career researchers, career progression, differences between public and private systems, as well as practical aspects such as working conditions, languages, publication expectations, academic networks, and support mechanisms. It also examines what these differences reveal about the highly diverse legal and academic cultures in Europe and compares European systems with those outside Europe. The course concludes with a comparative overview of the findings discussed throughout the seminar.
