PhD Candidate: International and European Law
2 weken geleden
Recent years have seen significant changes in the types of cases being brought before international judicial bodies: increasingly, states are instituting proceedings on the basis of common or community interests, such as the regulation of the global environment, the protection of human rights, or the prevention of unspeakable atrocities like genocide. Concerns have been raised, however, about the appropriateness and suitability of traditional bilateral and adversarial procedures for dealing with such issues, particularly where they transcend the rights and interests of individual states parties to the case. As a PhD candidate, you will explore the evolution of the role of international courts and tribunals in the face of common and community interest-based cases. You will conduct original and independent research analysing the ways in which international courts and tribunals could adapt, and have already adapted, to face these new challenges.
You will be joining the vibrant community of the Department of International and European Law at Radboud University, where the proposed PhD project is to be carried out as part of the wider research conducted at the Faculty of Law’s Research Centre for Law and State (SteR). Given the focus on international adjudicative bodies, it will particularly resonate with the SteR subprogramme on ‘Conflict-resolving Institutions’.
If you wish to be considered for this position, you are required to submit a research proposal explaining your proposed topic and possible methods of inquiry into the subject within the framework set out above. The proposed topic should present a clear and precise research question as well as a viable methodology. Possible lines of enquiry could include the changing role of international courts and tribunals and the international judicial function; the suitability and adaptation of adjudicative rules and procedures, including third-party intervention, rules of standing, and the award of remedies, with respect to common and community interests; the way in which international courts have adapted to the changing practice of states in bringing cases, particularly the disaggregation of cases and the apparent increased use of compromissory clauses; and the position of the judiciary in this context, for example in relation to the maintenance of judicial impartiality. In each of these lines of enquiry, a focus could be placed on the International Court of Justice, or a broader study could be undertaken that also analyses the relationship between different international courts and tribunals, including the practical operation of concepts of hierarchy and/or precedent. These questions are not exhaustive, but merely seek to provide an overview of some angles for doctrinal and/or conceptual analysis.
The selection committee will evaluate the proposal in order to determine your suitability for the position. Upon selection, the proposal will be further developed under the guidance of your supervisors.
Successful completion of the PhD project involves writing a monograph, though the option of publishing articles leading up to a PhD thesis is also open for negotiation. It is expected that interim findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals or edited volumes. The position may involve the undertaking of other relevant research tasks, particularly rendering assistance in the organisation of workshops or conferences. This position is free of teaching duties.
