Francis,
I read the announcement for the second position (humanities) and examined the internet site of the center.Their focus of research is very close to my research interests (e-policy, e-government; knowledge management etc).
I believe this could be something for me but I am not sure I am meeting the profile they are looking for.
Having more experience in these matters, do you think this could make sense ?
regards,
Laetitia
