PhD Fellowships at Riga Graduate School of Law (RGSL)

Overview

Riga Graduate School of Law (RGSL) and the Law Faculty of Copenhagen University jointly call for expression of interest with regard to doctoral studies in:

- international human rights
- international public law
- international private law

Up to three fully paid positions as PhD Research Fellows will be available for research starting in September 2011.

The study period is 3 years and exclusively in the English language. During the studies doctoral students will write and defend a doctoral dissertation, have teaching commitments, and complete courses offered by both host institutions and elsewhere.

It is foreseen that approximately half of the study period will be spent at Riga Graduate School of Law and half at Copenhagen University. This is a full time commitment and study costs, including study visits abroad, will be covered. Research fellows are employed as members of the RGSL faculty during their period of study.

The purpose of the PhD Programme is both to prepare the student for a continuing career in legal research and teaching and to educate highly qualified labour relevant to both the public and private sectors. The degree assures research qualifications at an international level.

Qualifications

- Applicants must have an educational background that corresponds to an LL.M.-degree or equivalent qualifications
- Students who are expecting to graduate in the first half of 2011 and are awaiting the evaluation of their master’s thesis may apply
- Applicants must document an aptitude for scientific work, for instance through a high assessment of their master’s thesis, and must be able to undertake the highly demanding task of independently writing a PhD dissertation.


Application procedure

The deadline for submission of expressions of interest is 28 February 2011.

The expression of interest should be submitted by e-mail only and should contain the following documents (in English):

- a copy of master’s diploma and of grades, including an explanation of the grading system
- a document certifying proficiency in English if previous studies were conducted in other language
- a letter of motivation
- a research proposal of maximum 5 pages
- CV, including list of publications if applicable
