Beschreibung

Research Associate/PostDoc (all genders):

for the duration of five years, starting on 1 April 2023. The PostDoc will be based in Darmstadt.

The RTG is based at TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt a. M. and financed by the German Research Foundation.

Research in the group is focused on norms of good governance, which encompass transparency, accountability, representation and the rule of law but also more specific governance standards such as anti-corruption, gender equality or the systematic evaluation of policies.

We are planning to analyze how governance standards emerge, how they spread internationally and how they are implemented in practice.

Not least, we are interested in forms of societal and political resistance against efforts to standardize the quality of governance.

The policy fields to be studied are economic and financial policy, development, environment and sustainability, basic rights and rule of law promotion.

We will also analyze critically how good governance practices relate to more traditional ideals of democratic self-determination and popular sovereignty.

The PostDoc is expected to perform independent research on topics of the RTG and will contribute to academic events. It is expected that he or she will contribute actively to the further development of the research agenda.

A longer stay abroad at one of our partner universities is foreseen and will be sponsored with funds from the RTG.
