About this position

The Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg is offering a postdoctoral position in the project “Bridging Injustice Gaps: Peace Enhancement in the Aftermath of Conflict Engagement” (BIG PEACE). The project is situated in a collaborative research environment that brings together scholars working on political science, conflict, justice, and democracy.

BIG PEACE examines how transitional justice may contribute to reconciliation after conflict. The project focuses on how justice is understood by those most affected by conflict, including victims, former combatants, and local communities, and it also studies how victimhood is recognized in conflict-affected societies. A key part of the research is to understand how claims to victimhood move from individual experiences to collective and politically contested claims, and how recognition of suffering shapes conflict and post-conflict politics.

The research is explicitly comparative and data-driven, drawing on in-depth interviews, large-scale surveys, and experiments in several conflict-affected countries. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the project group, including Kristen Kao, and will contribute to the development, implementation, and analysis of survey and experimental designs. The role offers substantial scope for publishing internationally, developing methodological expertise, and pursuing an independent research profile connected to political violence, transitional justice, ethnic politics, public opinion, and peace and conflict research.

The position is based at a department with a strong international profile and an active seminar and workshop culture. BIG PEACE is embedded in a research environment that supports collaboration within and beyond the project team, while also giving the postdoctoral researcher room to initiate own studies and develop publications from the project’s data.

The appointment is for full-time research, with opportunities to contribute to workshops, conferences, and fieldwork in the countries included in the project.

Funding details

Funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation with additional funding from the University of Gothenburg.

What's required

A doctoral degree is required, as the postdoctoral appointment is intended for candidates who have already completed the PhD. Strong knowledge of survey-based research is important, including designing, programming, conducting and analysing large-scale surveys and survey experiments. Experience with causal inference is expected. Experience of fieldwork in conflict-affected countries and knowledge of foreign languages are meritorious.
