About the Project

The successful candidates will be part of a dynamic research team led by Professor Gupta. Her research focuses on the strategic issues of multi-level (local-to-global) governance and just and inclusive development. The project aims to design a Global Constitution based on four methods: the theory on the rule of law and constitutionalism, empirical evidence of what is included in national constitutions, analysis of the new elements that need to be included in a Global Constitution, and an open science approach where actors worldwide can contribute to the Constitution.

  • Knowledge of and experience with quantitative and/or qualitative research methods and data analysis
  • High degree of organisation and ability to work independently and meet strict deadlines
  • Strong commitment to methodological rigour and scientific integrity
  • Excellent writing skills in English
What We Offer
  • A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years
  • A gross monthly salary ranging between € 2.872 in the first year to € 3.670 in the last year
  • An extensive package of secondary benefits, including 8% holiday allowance and a year-end bonus of 8.3%
