On October 21, the Higher School of Economics launched the next contest to fill positions of professorial and teaching staff in Moscow, Saint Petersburg And Perm. The competitive application provides for the candidate to choose a preferred career path – academic, educational and methodological or practice-oriented. 273 vacancies are posted for the competition, documents are accepted until 15:00 on November 25.
Of the 273 vacancies, 172 are offered in Moscow, 79 in St. Petersburg, and 22 in Perm. The Nizhny Novgorod campus is not participating in this competition.
A total of 707 applications were submitted for the 2024 summer competition, including 476 in Moscow, 152 in St. Petersburg, 36 in Nizhny Novgorod, and 43 in Perm. Decisions on election to the position were made based on 598 applications (415, 106, 34, and 43 by campus, respectively).
The competition for filling the positions of the teaching staff at the National Research University Higher School of Economics is as open as possible; external candidates have the same chances of winning as current HSE employees. Documents are submitted online in the electronic system – this simplifies the submission of the competition application, gives the opportunity to take part in the competition to people from different cities and countries.
The selection for the 2025 winter competition consists of several stages.
First, the applicant must submit the competition documents, then the specialized personnel commissions (there are 34 of them) will decide whether to continue their consideration or reject them, after which their examination will begin, and if necessary, interviews and personal appearances will be held. Any candidate for the position of faculty member can consult with the managers of the personnel commissions at any time and ask them any questions they may have, regardless of whether they are from HSE or not.
More information about the stages of the competition can be found on its page, and explanations on the preparation of documents and criteria for assessing applicants are also posted here. The registration procedure for participation in the competition lasts more than a month – this time is enough to order and submit documents confirming the absence of restrictions on conducting educational activities.
Each applicant must fill out the type of competition questionnaire that corresponds to their status. There are three types: “I am a teacher at HSE”, “I work at HSE under an employment contract, but I am not a teacher / I work under a civil contract”, “I am an external participant”. Completion of the competition questionnaire for all participants is carried out through a single personal account (SPA), to enter which university employees can use a corporate login and password. External participants must register in the SPA, after which a password will be sent to the email address they specified.
When filling out the competition questionnaire, each participant will be asked to choose the closest professional (career) trajectories, within which he sees his professional development at HSE (first and second priorities). There are three such trajectories: academic, educational-methodological and practice-oriented. The candidate’s choice of a preferred career trajectory in the competition application must be confirmed by the data and indicators that he presents in his questionnaire.
The core of the requirements for employees on the academic trajectory is publication activity in terms of scientific publications. The evaluation criteria for the educational-methodological and practice-oriented professional trajectories have been developed by specialized personnel commissions and approved by the academic councils of faculties/branches.
In recent years, attention has been paid to the compliance of candidates working at the Higher School of Economics with the rules and principles of assessing student learning outcomes (preventing “grade inflation”). The questionnaire includes a question about taking courses to develop teaching skills, regardless of the chosen trajectory. If you have not completed such courses as part of your advanced training, you can start with independent study of the online course “Modern Approaches to Teaching and Learning”. Other opportunities are also available as part of the “Teach4HSE / We Teach at HSE” project.
If the candidate has entered into an agreement on electronic interaction (this is only possible on the Moscow campus), he/she will be able to sign the application in electronic format using a simple electronic signature. If he/she has not entered into an agreement, then by November 25, it is necessary to either send a scan of the signed application to the e-mail addresses indicated on page in the section “Application for participation in the faculty competition”, or submit the original to the single reception office of the HSE University – Moscow, to the academic secretary – at the HSE University in St. Petersburg and Perm, or send the document by mail (this can be done before the end of the document acceptance period, notifying the university about sending and keeping the receipt). When filling out the questionnaire, you will be able to see the corresponding instructions.
The results of the competition will be announced on February 13 by the Academic Councils of the branches (recommendation of professors, election of assistants, lecturers, senior lecturers, associate professors), on February 26 – by the Academic Council of the HSE in Moscow (voting for participants from the capital, for professors from the HSE in St. Petersburg and Perm). The format of the faculty competition will be determined before the meeting of the Academic Council of the HSE / branch at which the competition will be held, and posted on the HSE portal.
