The Amsterdam Law School at the University of Amsterdam welcomes applications for postdoctoral researchers on sustainable global economic law (SGEL).
The candidate will undertake SGEL—a unique interdisciplinary research project bringing together legal scholars across legal sub-disciplines to work on the interactions between global economic law and environmental and social justice issues. Besides the research projects, the candidate will also actively contribute to the organization of international events and joint research projects, working within an interdisciplinary team. The research on SGEL forms part of a larger national collaboration under the topic “Transformative Effects of Globalization within Law” (TEGL), a collaboration between four Dutch law faculties: Tilburg University, Maastricht University, the Open University, and the University of Amsterdam that examines how law can foster just sustainability in global contexts.
The chosen applicant is an inquisitive and inventive researcher with a dissertation in international public law or EU law under their belt who is interested in doing high-calibre work on law, globalization, and sustainability. Teamwork in multiple academic groups and prior project management expertise are advantages. Applications from candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are especially welcome.
