Civic Consulting is an economic and public policy consultancy supporting European and international institutions as well as national governments through economic studies, policy evaluation, legal research, market studies, and impact assessment. We have special expertise in the areas of consumer policy and markets, financial services, information society, and food chain/animal health (for more details, see project references).
We are currently offering the following positions:
Research fellow
If you are interested in analysing EU policy from a consumer/citizen perspective, and have a research interest in the fields of food chain policy and economics, or consumer policy and markets, or information society and would like to be considered for a four-month research fellowship at Civic Consulting’s office in Berlin, then send in a 4-7 page article in line with academic standards on one of the following topics, in English, together with a CV and covering letter:
- Food chain policy and economics: a) Good governance of food chain risks – has the EU learned the lessons from the BSE crisis? OR: b) What is the cost of animal welfare in food production, and how should EU consumers contribute?
- Consumer policy and markets: a) Do market practices of electricity and gas providers lead to consumer detriment, and what can EU policy makers do about it? OR: b) Unfair commercial practices in financial services - is the EU legal framework sufficient to protect consumers?
- Online privacy and electronic communications: a) Online profiling – what should the EU do to protect consumers? OR b) Cloud computing – is the EU legal framework sufficient to protect privacy and security of consumers?
Winners of the fellowship will receive a compensation of 10,000 Euro. Fellows will contribute to ongoing EU studies. Fellows that have successfully contributed to our team will be preferably considered for permanent positions at Civic Consulting.
Applicants for the fellowship should have a PhD or at least two years professional or academic experience after completing a masters degree in economics, or in another relevant subject (political sciences, law) with complementary knowledge and interest in economics. Previous work experience in a research institution, a consultancy or a European/international body would be an advantage, as well as extensive writing experience in an academic, research or consultancy context. We expect genuine and documented interest in economic or legal research at EU level and previous research experience in the relevant field (as documented e.g. through scientific articles, previous projects or volunteer work). Further requirements are: experience in design and use of quantitative and qualitative research tools (such as survey questionnaires, guidelines for expert interview), proficiency of Word, Excel and possibly SPSS, excellent knowledge of English at the level of a native speaker, and EU residency/work permit. Knowledge of German, French, Spanish or other EU languages are not required but would be an asset.
Applications should indicate the position for which you are applying in the subject line, and should be sent by e-mail only to fellowship@civic-consulting.de latest on 19 January 2014. Start of the fellowship is foreseen for March/April 2014.
