Five Research Positions at The Swedish Institute of International Affairs

Ui

The Swedish Institute of International Affairs (Utrikespolitiska institutet, UI) is looking for researchers, preferably at the postdoc level. They will consider applications based on a broad range of topics. Successful applicants will join one of UI’s five programs: Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Russia and Eurasia, and Global Politics and Security. Deadline is on Monday 1st May 2017.

The positions are part of UI’s Special Research Programme on International Studies and funded by the Swedish Foreign Ministry. UI researchers adhere to high standards of scientific quality, and are required to publish internationally in peer-reviewed scientific journals and books. The positions are open to highly qualified researchers of all nationalities. 

Qualified applicants have been awarded a doctoral degree in a discipline relevant for international studies, e.g. International Relations, Peace and Conflict Studies, Political Science, Economic History, Economics or Development Studies. The Institute is primarily looking for younger scholars at the postdoc level. The most important merits are the applicants scientific achievements and promise, as evidenced particularly by thea applicants PhD thesis, as well as internationally peer-reviewed publications. Knowledge of the Swedish language and of Swedish society is an advantage, but not a requirement. Interest in and experience of policy-oriented analysis, popular science communication, and multidisciplinary research environments are advantageous.

The five research positions are part time positions, 60-80 per cent of full time, limited in time to three consecutive years. Salaries are fixed, taxable and will be raised according to collective agreements. We aim for two successful applicants to start by 1 October 2017 and three to start by January 2018.
