PhD Fellow Terrorism and Political Violence
3 maanden geleden
The Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is looking for a
PhD fellow in its research group Terrorism and Political Violence.
The PhD fellow to develop a research project on the interplay between reality and fantasy in terrorism and political violence to contribute to our teaching portfolio in our bachelor and master programmes.
The intermingling of fact and fiction is a recurring feature of radicalized individuals and movements. Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik fantasized being the leader of a ‘Knights Templar’ resistance movement. The racist and violent fantasy of white resistance in the face of multiculturalist oppression described in the novel The Turner Diaries has inspired some of the deadliest acts of right-wing terrorism in recent history. Fantasy and myth are also being used to create new shared realities outside of right-wing extremist movements, including radical animal-rights groups, conspiracy movements (e.g. ‘red pilling’) and jihadist terrorists.
In both the academic and professional field of radicalism, extremism and terrorism, it has been noted that it is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate between what is real and what is fantasy in kaleidoscopic, violence-prone (digital) cultic milieus. Do these people really believe what they are saying? Is this an extremist form of ‘live action roleplaying’ (LARP) or an actual threat? Both over- and underestimating the intermingling of fact and fiction in radicalized settings can have serious implications for effectively dealing with radicalization and the violence that may result from it.
The research project has different objectives:
Developing a conceptual, theoretical and analytical approach based on the different, until now scattered approaches in the body of knowledge. Empirical research into different historical and current manifestations of the intermingling of fantasy and reality in (extremist) movements and milieus. Theoretically and empirically informed insights into whether the interplay between fact and fiction among radicalized groups and individuals can inhibit or encourage violence.PhD fellows are junior academics who are responsible for teaching workgroups across the bachelor programmes and for teaching assistance in the master programmes, while also completing their PhD dissertation. They spend fifty percent of their time doing dissertation research and fifty per cent teaching, which includes the PhD training and tutor training they receive themselves. Because they teach half of the time, the fellows receive a tutor salary, and because they do PhD research half of the time the fellows have a 6-year contract to enable completion of their dissertation in that period.
PhD fellows primarily teach bachelor workgroups in which students work on their academic and professional skills using content from the lectures, and learn to apply relevant theories and practices. Collaborating with the course lecturers, tutors design workgroups, teach in small groups, provide input on assessment methods and rubrics, and grade assignments. In addition, they assist in master programme teaching under supervision of the course examiner. Teaching expertise, experience, and trainings allow the PhD fellow to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ or BKO in Dutch).
Research by the PhD fellow includes all research activities necessary to complete a dissertation within the six-year time frame plus a mandatory PhD training programme offered by the ISGA and FGGA graduate school. The successful candidate will join the Research Groups Terrorism and Political Violence within ISGA. The research should lead to a PhD within a six-year timeframe.
Prospective candidates need to demonstrate a clear affinity with both teaching and research on the topic of this vacancy, in their CV and motivation letter plus a research statement on the vacancy topic. The PhD fellow will be supervised by dr. Bart Schuurman and dr. Jelle van Buuren. The candidate will perform the research and teaching at or on behalf of the Institute of Security and Global Affairs.
