This Postdoc for two years will be responsible, together with the programme coordinator to develop the theoretical foundations on the country studies in relation to alternative humanitarian ethics and new forms of advocacy.
The research into ethics and advocacy will be designed by the Post-doc and comprise:
- A systematic literature review, including grey literature;
- International stakeholder interviews or survey;
- Limited periods of fieldwork in DRC, Ethiopia, Colombia, or a country to be selected are optional.
Expected outcomes:
- At least three journal articles, possibly co-authored with selected team members;
- Contributions to international events;
- Production of research briefs, blogs and other forms of research communication;
- A special issue or edited volume can be considered.
The successful candidates will be part of the research team of humanitarian governance, and expected to contribute to:
- Developing interactive methodologies that iteratively converse with a network or ‘observatory’ that will contribute by giving feedback to the analysis of the research process and their findings;
- A collaborative team that shares resources, helps each other, and enjoys pushing the boundaries of theory and methodology in the field of humanitarian studies;
- Contributes through a variety of ways to networking and development of outcomes for policy and practice to enhance the research uptake of the programme.
