Overview
The Institute for European Studies (IES) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) calls for applications for two positions of full-time doctoral researchers for two new research projects. Final year students, young researchers and other prospective PhD candidates are herewith invited to submit project proposals in the areas of Law of the Sea and Human Rights (environmental law) and International Trade and Foreign Direct Investment (economics) as they relate to European Studies.
Research projects need to be in line with the IES research strategy that focuses on the EU as an international actor.
The successful candidates will have an MA degree with good study results. They will be fluent in English and have a thorough knowledge of European policy, law and/or economics. They will be selected on the basis of the quality of the project proposal and on the basis of their expertise and qualifications.
Application requirements
Candidates will need to fill in and send the forms that are available from this website (either in MSWord format, or in PDF format) and send a full CV, a list of publications, a detailed outline (max. 10 pages!) describing the research project, at least one letter of reference and a copy of their most recent diploma.
The IES requires that at least one (co)promoter of the project be from the VUB. The IES may assist successful candidates in finding a suitable (co-)promoter at the VUB. Co-promotership from other Belgian or foreign universities is encouraged. Successful candidates are expected to base themselves in Brussels and work at the IES. Office space and equipment will be provided along with a budget for travelling and other research-related expenses.
The deadline for applications is: 11 June 2010 (for posts to be taken up as of 1 October or as early as possible thereafter).
Amount awarded
The successful candidates will receive a research grant for one year (extendable to 4 years). Prolongation of the contract is subject to the agreement of the doctoral committee. Remuneration is at the level of a full time research assistant at a Flemish university (i.e. approx. € 1.600,00 net per month) and includes contributions for social security / insurance. Secondary employment is not allowed.
