Your duties and responsibilities:
We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers with different but complementary research interests who are eager to combine their individual projects with teamwork. One researcher will lead the work stream specializing in critical studies of green activism, party politics, and climate mitigation in Europe. Another researcher will be responsible for the work stream focusing on critical studies of carbon dependency, decarbonization, and international conflicts in the global perspective. We will consider other areas of research focus and applicants’ expertise, relevant to the overall thematic formulation of the OHPA. Working under the supervision of the OHPA Director, Professor Alexander Etkind, each researcher will be responsible for their separate streams of activities, which will include research, organization of workshops and an international conference, publishing a collected volume and other activities developed collaboratively.
Your qualifications:
The candidate must hold a PhD (within 5 years from the completion) in international relations, political science, history, public policy, or other relevant fields of social sciences. Excellent writing and editorial skills in English are required. A proven record of expert engagement beyond academic setting, interdisciplinary and intercultural work, network-building experience, ability to multitask in a diverse and challenging environment will be assets. We expect regular presence at the CEU campus in Vienna; proactive participation in organizing academic events; regular communication within CEU and with OSUN and other partner networks; and cooperative work on the book-length collective texts. We welcome international applications, in particular from scholars working in and on the global South and other less studies areas.
