The post-doctoral researchers will be expected to play an active part in a network of academics and policymakers, in workshops, and in the production of publishable policy-oriented papers for the 2013 Dahrendorf Symposium in Berlin. The posts will be filled between September 2012 and January 2013 for one year. For further information about the Dahrendorf Symposium please see: www.dahrendorf-symposium.eu.
