The Department of Political Science at the University of Lucerne (CH) is looking for Two Research Assistants / PhD Students (50 % positions, starting December, 1st 2012 or upon agreement) to participate in two research projects on power shifts in global economic regulation financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) and the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS).
One position (3 years, SNF) deals with the eventual decline of EU and US influence on international trade regulation vis-à-vis emerging powers. The second position (2 years, SNIS) analyses whether and how Brazil, China, India and Mexico are conveying their growing economic weight into regulatory influence. The sectors under study are (depending on the project) competition policy, intellectual property rights, technical standards and services-related labour mobility (GATS mode 4).
We expect
an MA degree in Political Science/International Relations or adjacent discipline
a background in international trade regulation and/or foreign economic policies of one/several of the countries mentioned
a solid knowledge of political science/IR theories and methods
knowledge of one or more of the sectors in question is an asset
We offer
the possibility to conduct a PhD associated to a stimulating research programme and to join a team of highly motivated international scholars and practitioners including partners in the countries under study and from relevant International Organizations
competitive salary of between ca. 42’000 and 50’000 CHF per annum
additional training and research funding opportunities within the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Lucerne (GSL)
