Our research group at Leuphana University Lüneburg is looking to employ a
post-doc to support existing activities and to explore new research
directions.
*Tasks and responsibilities:* Research in environmental and sustainability
governance, contributing to the international visibility of the research
group. Innovative topics and approaches are particularly welcome. Potential
research themes and methods include:
- Institutional change towards sustainability, potentially linking
sustainability transitions research with institutionalist approaches
- Elite networks for the production of public goods
- Participatory and collaborative governance, from the local to global
commons, with a potential focus on the global South
- Knowledge, (adaptive) learning and experimentation in policy-formation
and governance
- Systems perspectives on governance and institutional design, e.g.
leverage points for sustainability
- Innovative methods for the cumulation of evidence: meta-analytical
methods and the potential role of “big data” in governance research
- Field experimentation on governance interventions.
*Further tasks include:*
- Developing and collaborating in writing articles for international
journals;
- Supporting teaching activities on governance-related topics in
environmental, sustainability and/or political science study programmes,
with a teaching duty of four teaching hours per week during the semester;
- Assisting with day-to-day aspects of facilitating smooth collaboration
within the research group;
- Preparation of a cumulative ‘habilitation thesis’ (or equivalent
qualification) on a topic agreed with Prof. Dr. Newig.
*Selection criteria: *
- Completed university degree (Masters or equivalent) with above-average
grades in the social sciences, e.g. political science, public
administration, law, planning, human geography, environmental or
sustainability science, as well as a completed PhD in one of these areas;
- Very good English language communication skills (written and oral);
- Academic publication experience;
- Experience in empirical research, and training in statistics, QCA or
other formal comparative methods would be an additional asset;
- Ability and willingness to teach relevant classes; some teaching
experience would be an asset.
For questions, please contact Prof. Dr. Jens Newig (newig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
Deadline for applications is *August 15, 2018.*
