UNIVERSITE CATHOLIQUE DE LOUVAIN, BELGIUM
2 POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS AND 1 PhD FELLOW
The Biodiversity Governance Unit of the Centre for Philosophy of Law
(CPDR) (at the Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve,
Belgium) is looking for 2 postdoctoral research fellows and 1 PhD
research fellow in one of the following areas:
• Political economy of global commons and global public goods (in
particular genetic resources, natural resources, or digital information
commons)
• Global governance
• Science and technology policy studies
• International Law (Intellectual property, Access and Benefit Sharing
Regime)
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT: The CPDR is an interdisciplinary research centre
among one of the top research departments in Europe working on
governance issues. For the last 15 years, it has been awarded a number
of major European research grants, which have been evaluated as top rank
projects by external reviewers. With researchers in the fields of law,
political sciences, economics and philosophy it offers a vibrant and
stimulating interdisciplinary research environment (more information at
http://www.uclouvain.be/en-cpdr.html).
The researchers will work in the Biodiversity Governance Unit of the
CPDR under the supervision of prof. Tom Dedeurwaerdere, in one of the
following research projects, depending on their qualifications and
interest:
• BIOMOT (Motivational strength of ecosystem services and alternative
ways to express the value of Biodiversity) (FP7-ENV-2011). The task
under this project is to establish, through a large-scale survey, which
(economic and alternative) ways expressing the value of biodiversity
have been at work in cases of successful projects, regulations and
policies for biodiversity conservation, both at the global, the EU, the
national and local scales.
• MICRO B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics and
Biotechnology): Work Package on Intellectual Property Management for
Marine Bioprospecting (FP7-OCEAN2011-2). The task under this project is
to analyse and review intellectual property strategies for building
global knowledge commons in life science research.
• GENCOMMONS (Institutionalizing global genetic-resource commons) (grant
application still pending). The task under this project is to conduct a
large-scale comparative institutional assessment of governance
arrangements for managing genetic resource commons, with a special focus
on plant, animal and microbial genetic resources used in food and
agriculture.
JOB DESCRIPTION: The positions are strongly research oriented with very
limited organizational duties and no teaching obligations. We offer a
competitive remuneration package (including a monthly allowance, social
security and insurance expenses) and generous funding of research
related activities (participation to conferences and research missions
in selected developed and developing countries). The fellowships are
granted for 12 to 24 months.
JOB QUALIFICATIONS: For the postdoctoral positions: a PhD in Political
Science, Law or Economics. Postdoctoral applicants are expected to
develop a strong research record aiming at publications in international
journals. Excellent English language skills are required. Postdoctoral
applicants should also send a copy (in pdf) of 2 publications with their
application.
For the PhD fellowship: a Master level or equivalent university degree
in Political Science, Law or Economics. PhD applicants are expected to
show evidence of a top level academic record. Excellent English language
skills are required. Doctoral applicants are encouraged to send a copy
of their Master thesis or of 1 publication.
PROCEDURE: Application form at http://biogov.uclouvain.be/application.
Applications can be sent electronically from the 1st of July 2011, but
no later than 15th of September 2011.
