Employment at Vesalius College

Vesalius College Brussels, the American-style liberal arts college in the capital of Europe in association with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, is expanding in the fields of European Union Policy and international business studies, and is currently seeking several new faculty members. 
All positions are initially for one year, but may become of indeterminate duration after a positive evaluation. All positions are at the level of assistant professor; promotion to associate professor may be possible after a minimum of three years.
