Lecturer in Social Sciences BA (30%-40%)
University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, Institute of Architecture
Your tasks:
Due to a reduction in workload of the professor of sociology, we are looking for a lecturer in social sciences for the bachelor programme starting in the autumn semester 2027. As a lecturer in social sciences in the BA, you will contribute to the interdisciplinary education of students in exchange with the small teaching team of the institute.
- You independently conduct two compulsory courses in social sciences for around 50 architecture students, which will take place on Mondays until further notice
- You set your own content, methodological and didactic priorities but can build on previous work
- You align your courses with the institute’s annual themes and coordinate content-wise and operationally with other teaching offers
- You participate in the meetings of the faculty and contribute to the further development of the Institute of Architecture
Your profile:
As a lecturer in social sciences, you tailor your teaching offer practically to the needs of future architects and urban planners. For this, you bring:
- A university degree in sociology or another social science discipline with sound knowledge of topics in architecture and urban development
- Teaching experience at university level as well as experience in interdisciplinary collaboration with architects and urban planners
- Enjoyment in cooperating with students, organising, coordinating and administrative support work
- Interest in taking on further tasks in teaching (BA + MA) and research in the future
Teaching at FHNW is the interface between education, professional activity and continuing professional development – challenging and at the same time meaningful. It enables staff to impart knowledge practically and to implement research results directly. At the same time, the exchange with students in education and further training broadens and inspires the perspective on one’s own field.
Will you soon be part of our team? We look forward to receiving your application by 14 December 2026.
