Formal Qualifications for the Position of the Scientific Director at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law

Dear Members of RCSL,

As the Nominating Committee began to work from the 1st of April, we found that we would have to follow certain conditions that the Ikerbasque Foundation and the University of Basque require: (1) The Scientific Director has to retire at the age of 65. Therefore, a candidate must be 61 years old or younger on the 1st of September, 2025, as the Scientific Director’s term may be extended from 2 years to 4 years. (2) A candidate must have a Ph.D.

These conditions are fixed ones and beyond consideration of our Committee, making it indispensable to add this information to the terms of the call already published.

Best regards,

The Nominating Committee

Masayuki Murayama, Chair
Letizia Mancini
Gema Varona
