- While corruption and undue influence regularly emerge on the agenda following mediatized- scandals such as the Qatargate, corruption within EU institutions - and efforts to tackle the issue - has not received sufficient academic attention. We indeed know surprisingly little about how the problem of corruption has been socially constructed within the EU (why have certain practices been criminalized and not others for instance) and how standards and norms of good governance were built. This is particularly relevant at a time of multiple reforms, with the establishment of an independent EU Ethics Body and the new directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on combating corruption.- EUcovert aims at investigating the following questions:
- how do insiders’ (MEPs, assistants, European officials) perceive, understand and feel about
- corruption and related phenomena such as undue influence? About special interests and practices of grey corruption (including grey areas between, for example, corruption and lobbying, conflict of interests and unspecified concepts such as undue influence).- how have these representations and feelings shaped existing policy instruments (code of conduct, existing transparency, accountability and integrity mechanism, ethics body, etc.)? And more broadly, how does black and grey corruption shape power dynamics within EU institutions and eventually affects EU governance and policymaking as well as the legitimacy of the EU?
- how are these policy instruments received and used by the target population (EU officials and MEPs).
- The nature of the questions presented above require a qualitative type of research in which- interviews with key players, observations and document analysis seem to be a key-elements. We also interested in mix-methods approach, including, for example, surveys or experiments.**What are you going to do**
- You will perform empirical qualitative - or mixed-methods - research (e.g. in-depth interviews and policy analysis);
- You will complete a PhD dissertation based on four scientific articles, to be submitted to leading academic journals, or a monograph. Some of these articles will be in collaboration with other team members (including the PIs);
- You will actively contribute to the (national and international) activities of the project, including scientific conferences and networks as well as expert meetings with policy makers and stakeholders;
- You will assist with administrative responsibilities related to the project, such as the organization of workshops or other project events;
- You will contribute to the teaching program of the department;
- You will take active part in seminars of the program group and the department;
- Your primary residence will be within commuting distance of the University of Amsterdam for the duration of the PhD project.

**_Your experience and profile_**
- A completed MA or Research MA in political science, European studies, sociology, public administration, anthropology or one of the related social sciences;
- Interest in topics related to undue influence, corruption;
- Training in qualitative research methods (e.g. in-depth interviews, ethnographic fieldwork, policy analysis), and a willingness to develop additional methodological expertise;
- Good research skills, as demonstrated by your MA thesis or other publications/assignments;
- Excellent command of English, with mastery of other EU languages being an asset;
- The ability to work independently as well as part of a team.

In addition, you are an enthusiastic colleague who likes to share knowledge, embraces open (team) science, is curious, critical and eager to learn, i.e. one with an academic attitude.**What can we offer you**
