PhD Research Fellowship in Political Science. Specialization: Democracy, Welfare and Developmen
The appointment is either for a period of three years (with no teaching requirement), or for a period of four years with a 25 per cent teaching requirement. In the Department of Political Science teaching is organized into five sections: public policy and administration, comparative politics, political theory, international politics, and research methods. Candidates will be part of the Faculty's PhD programme and the work performed will be expected to lead to a PhD in Political Science.
Qualifications
To be appointed to the position, the successful candidate must have a Master’s degree (120 ECTS) or an equivalent qualification in Political Science. The Master’s degree must include a thesis of at least 30 ECTS, and training in research methodology.
Although the PhD work will constitute an individual project in which we appreciate original ideas and initiative, the appointed candidate is also expected to contribute to the department’s ongoing project “Democracy, Welfare and Development: Indian and Scandinavian Experiences” (led by Professor Olle Törnquist), in cooperation with the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, supported by the Norwegian Research Council. Hence we invite applicants to propose a PhD project that addresses the major question in the project: whether and how development based on political and social equality can be reinvented in countries like India and Scandinavia through democratic politics and policies, given the uneven character of recent economic growth in India and its global causes and effects. The focus of the department’s project is comparative studies of such political efforts in the fields of crucial importance in both India and Scandinavia in this respect, historically and recently: (i) the formation of political collectivities (communities), (ii) the citizenship and work based rights, (iii) the character of linkages between state/government and civil society, and (iv) the facilitation of pacts towards the combination of welfare and growth.
In evaluating applications, academic qualifications and the project outline will be given more weight than other disciplinary and general qualifications. Personal suitability will also be an important factor. Short-listed applicants will be called for interview.
Applicants must submit a project description of up to 3000 words outlining the research topic, the specific problems to be studied, the choice of scientific theory and method, and a realistic schedule for the study, that details how the project will be completed within the fellowship period.
