Overview
One Marie Curie Fellow (Experienced Researcher) position within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network in Electoral Democracy (ELECDEM) is available from 1 September, 2010 at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy, for one year.
Program Description
We invite applications for one 1-year research fellow post for an “Experienced Researcher” as part of a Marie Curie Initial Training Network in Electoral Democracy (ELECDEM), funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme.
ELECDEM brings together 11 expert teams from 9 European countries to provide substantive and methodological training in voting behaviour and elections research to a cohort of early stage and experienced researchers. In total, there are 18 research positions available including the one hosted at the EUI. The objective of the network and associated projects is to evaluate the functioning of democracies in the context of globalisation and technological and institutional change.
One research project, the European Union Democracy Observatory, is hosted at the EUI’s Robert Schumann Centre for Advanced Studies (www.eudo.eu). Its goal is to produce a permanent and periodic assessment of democratic practices within the EU. The experienced researcher would be housed within the Public Opinion observatory of EUDO where s/he will be expected to contribute to the work of the observatory along with pursuing his or her own research.
In particular, the individual appointed will be expected to contribute to the development of an ongoing monitoring of public opinion in Europe through secondary analysis of the regular series of Eurobarometer surveys conducted every six months (or more frequently) by the Commission of the European communities, adding value to that series by importing data from the European Election Study 2009 (voter study data and contextual data in particular).
The researcher will be employed by the EUI’s Robert Schumann Centre and in addition to his/her salary will receive mobility and training allowances. The researcher will join an active team of international researchers at the EUI. Cooperation with other think-tanks, academic institutions and/or universities within the ELECDEM network will be possible. Further information on ELECDEM and planned workshops and events can be found at: http://huss.exeter.ac.uk/politics/elecdem/
Main duties and accountabilities:
- Undertake original research on the specified topic.
- Complete project report within 1 year and an additional research paper.
- Undertake research skills training.
- Contribute independently to ELECDEM training network, including supervision of young researchers on secondments to the EUI
- Contribute independently to research and project management activities at the EUI
- Participate in network conferences and workshops.
This job description summarises the main duties and accountabilities of the post and is not comprehensive: the post-holder may be required to undertake other duties of similar level and responsibility.
