Two Full Professorships in Sociology at SNS

The Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) invites expressions of interest from qualified scholars in the field of Sociology, in view of the possible opening of positions in its Istituto di Scienze Umane e Sociali at the full professor level.

In particular we seek candidates with the following backgrounds:
