Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, invites applications for a position as PhD fellow of international studies from January 2nd 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position as PhD is limited to a period of 3 years.
The Doctoral School
You will be enrolled as a PhD fellow at the Doctoral School of Social Sciences and Business with approximately 40 PhD fellows from all over the world. You will be provided with two dedicated supervisors who will coach you throughout the process.
The Doctoral School of Social Sciences & Business (ISE) provides PhD training and research within an interdisciplinary, international, and professional environment. It is part of a dynamic community of researchers who share a commitment to understanding society in diverse contexts of change and global engagement. Researchers come from all over the world and engage in topics that are geographically, theoretically and methodologically diverse The Doctoral School has one PhD program. The program offers work in progress seminars, thematic professional development seminars, feedback and social activities for the enrolled PhD fellows.
As a PhD fellow you will be associated with the research area international studies, which cover the research groups:
- Economic Policy, Institutions and Change, EPIC (https://forskning.ruc.dk/en/organisations/economic-policy-institutions-and-change)
- Globalization and Europeanization Research Group, GERG (https://forskning.ruc.dk/da/organisations/globalisering-og-europ%C3%A6isering)
- Global Political Sociology, GPS (https://forskning.ruc.dk/da/organisations/global-political-sociology)
- International Development Research Group, IDRG (https://forskning.ruc.dk/da/organisations/international-development-research-group)
Members of the four research groups study the international, but differ on geographic focus and disciplinary attachment. IDRG focuses on North-South and South-South relations, while GERG is centred on European and other Western countries. GPS and EPIC focus on both Western and non-Western regions. All four research groups are multi-and cross-disciplinary, yet GPS is strong in political sociology and anthropology, EPIC in economic transformation processes and GERG in political science, and IDRG in geography, anthropology, political science and international political economy. In addition, GPS and GERG engage with legal scholarship and history.
More specifically, EPIC conducts research on contemporary economic dynamics in advanced, emerging, and developing countries, particularly focusing on the relationship between economic policy and institutional change. Key theoretical strands include general economics, post-Keynesian economics, and ecological economics. GERG focuses on regional and global transitions in power, wealth, norms, and security. Scholars have very different methodological stances, including social constructivism, rationalism, institutionalism, and political realism, which are often combined in the group’s research. GPS studies contemporary political and social dynamics across the globe using interdisciplinary approaches and primarily qualitative methods. Its research often involves global phenomena and state–society relations in or across particular countries or regions or transnationally. Finally, IDRG uses an empirically based, multidisciplinary approach to grapple with issues ranging from resource contestations, to global aid flows and neo- and postcolonialism. Emphasizing fieldwork, IDRG draws upon and develops contextual analysis and grounded theorization.
You will belong to one of the groups.
