Research Associates
The Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) seeks to fill two research associate positions (part-time or full-time) based at the institute’s Berlin office.
The successful candidates will help advance GPPi’s research and dialogue activities at the intersection of global security and the role of rising powers in global governance. They will be expected to contribute to a new, two-and-a-half-year research project called “Global Norm Evolution and the Responsibility Protect.” GPPi is coordinating the project as part of a research consortium that includes six academic partners in Brazil, China, India, Germany, Hungary and the United Kingdom. The project is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation in cooperation with two other foundations, Compagnia di San Paolo and the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
The research associates will work on all aspects of the project. This includes conducting independent field research, writing academic publications, managing collaborative research in a diverse global team and helping develop and implement an effective outreach strategy.
Applicants for part-time positions are encouraged to combine their work with the pursuit of a PhD. Both positions will be based at GPPi’s Berlin office.
We seek
• Outstanding academic background in the social sciences and strong analytical skills (MA or equivalent)
• Strong knowledge in the area of international relations (particularly IR theory and norms)
• Strong background knowledge on the debates about a “responsibility to protect” and humanitarian intervention
• Excellent intercultural communication skills based on substantive personal experience in a culturally diverse work or study environment
• Work or travel experience in key rising powers, particularly India, Brazil or China; expertise on countries in violent conflict desirable
• Excellent English-language writing skills; command of German is an asset but not a must
Candidates must be self-driven and able to work independently.
Candidates must be able to make a firm commitment for the full duration of the project.
GPPi offers a dynamic work environment in the center of Germany’s capital, a young and international team working in a strong global network and an attractive platform for innovative researchers to develop their research interests and sharpen their academic and professional profile. GPPi is an equal opportunity employer. Female candidates and non-EU citizens are particularly encouraged to apply for these positions.
Starting date to be determined, not before 1 October 2012. Please indicate availability.
Interested in applying?
To apply, please send your CV, a brief letter of interest and two previously produced writing samples (one theory-driven, one policy-focused) to Philipp Rotmann at globalnorms@gppi.net. Please do not submit paper applications or inquire about your application on the phone. Questions via email are welcome.
Closing date: 31 August 2012. Early applications are encouraged.
