The list below gives further information on our various collaborative activities:
LSE-Sciences Po Faculty Mobility Scheme 2016-17
LSE and Sciences Po are delighted to continue our long-term academic collaboration through an annual faculty mobility scheme. Arrangements for a fifth wave of visiting faculty in the 2016/17 academic year will enable faculty to spend at least one month in a host department (or unit) at the other institution in order to:
-
engage with students through a meaningful teaching commitment that meets a need in the host department;
-
foster networks between colleagues at their home and host departments (or institutions); and
-
serve wider departmental and/or institutional interests where possible.
To maximise flexibility, the scheme has been designed with the following two modes:
-
Mode A: Shorter visits of 1 month, whereby visiting faculty will deliver at least 8 hours of teaching (or a short course) and spend at least 4 hours with PhD students;
-
Mode B: Longer visits of 3 months, whereby visiting faculty will deliver at least 20 hours of teaching, spend at least 10 hours with PhD students and deliver a departmental or public lecture.
LSE and Sciences Po will each fund one Mode A and one Mode B visit during the September 2016 to June 2017 period. Successful applicants will continue to receive their normal salary plus a travel grant from their home institution, as well as a subsistence allowance or salary from the host institution. Further information and guidance notes, including details of how to apply, are available here.The deadline for applications is Sunday 15th May 2016.

Research
LSE and Sciences Po faculty are eligible to apply jointly for "seed funds" for innovative proposals which are likely to secure further external funding within a realistic time frame. The Seed Fund operates on the basis of an open call for proposals with permanent members of faculty free to submit proposals in any field or interdisciplinary initiative. Applications will be considered by the LSE Research Committee. For more information click here.
