The German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) invites application for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow (m/f/d) position with a contract of 42 months, pending final funding approval. The successful applicant is expected to start in September 2024, but a later date may be negotiated. The position is designed for further professional qualification as defined in § 2 WissZeitVG (Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act). The salary is commensurate with EG 13 TV-AVH / TVöD. Part-time options will be considered, if so desired by the successful candidate.

The successful candidate is expected to work on a project that examines the effects of supply chain regulation on producers in the Global South. Based on selected case studies, qualitative and quantitative methods will be used in a mixed-methods approach in a “nested” research design. The candidate is expected to conduct excellent research with real-world relevance and, accordingly, to participate in knowledge-exchange and outreach activities of the GIGA (media engagement, policy advice, and similar). There are no teaching obligations for this position, but the Institute offers support in finding teaching opportunities at one of the GIGA’s partner universities.

Screening of applications will begin on 23 June 2024. Further information can be found here.
