Dear all, I have two PhD openings on an exciting new project on regional environmental governance and would be grateful if you could circulate this to interested students. One position has a focus on East/Southeast Asia, the other on East/Southeast Europe. Interested and qualified candidates may be considered for a small teaching assistant complement.
The positions are attached to the Department of Geography and Environment, but doctoral degrees can be had in another relevant social science discipline via co-supervision. All submissions have to be done through the University's employment portal: - for the Asia position: https://jobs.unige.ch/www/wd_portal.show_job?p_web_site_id=1&p_web_page_id=21099 - for the Europe position: https://jobs.unige.ch/www/wd_portal.show_job?p_web_site_id=1&p_web_page_id=21598 Here are the details for the positions (they are the same for both positions, with the exception of the regional focus) - happy to answer any and all questions. *Faculty:* Geneva School of Social Sciences *Department:* Department of Geography and Environment *Position:* Doctoral Candidate (Code: CAND70) *Employment rate:* 70% *Place of work:* Uni Carl Vogt, Geneva, Switzerland *Application deadline**:* May 31, 2016 *Job Description* The successful candidate will complete a doctoral dissertation in the framework of the project “Regional Orders in International Environmental Politics (REORIENT)” financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
