Academic career

[edit]

Kaunert started his academic career as a lecturer in European politics at Aberystwyth University, where he obtained his PhD, with a thesis entitled The European Commission: an 'engine' in the area of freedom, security and justice?, in 2006.[10] After a brief spell as a lecturer at the University of Maastricht, he moved to the UK in 2007 as a lecturer and senior lecturer at the University of Salford,[11] where he earned his first Jean Monnet chair in 2012. While at Salford, he was also Marie Curie senior research fellow at the European University Institute in Florence from 2010 to 2012.[12] At the end of 2012 he left for the University of Dundee in Scotland, where he established his first Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in 2013,[13] and was appointed professor in 2014. Kaunert then moved back to continental Europe in 2016 as professor and academic director of the Institute for European Studies of Vrije Universiteit Brussel, until he returned to the UK as a professor and director of the International Centre for Policing & Security at the University of South Wales in 2018.[14][15][16][17] In 2021, he was appointed Professor of International Security at Dublin City University in Ireland.[18]
