Centre for European Research

The Centre for European Research at the University of Gothenburg (CERGU) is a cross-disciplinary centre supported by the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the School of Business, Economics and Law. CERGU was established in 1995, and the centre’s network-based structure allows our scholars to combine disciplinary depth with broad cross-disciplinary insights on European issues (see http://www.cergu.gu.se). This call for applications is part of CERGU’s international postdoc program, funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) 2013-2017.

CERGU promotes cross-disciplinary research on a broad range of European issues, but there are certain thematic areas in which we currently have a stronger profile. These areas include Cultural Borders and Identity, Migration, Global Europe, Societal Challenges and Actors, and EU Institutions. These themes are described in more detail on the CERGU webpage. We encourage potential applicants to describe in their application to what extent their proposed project and merits may benefit from, or contribute to, the CERGU environment and our specific thematic areas.

The researchers will be financed by CERGU (80%) but have a double affiliation as the employment and office location will be at one of the departments at the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Social Sciences, or the School of Business, Economics and Law. CERGU researchers participate in many activities, ranging from weekly breakfasts and regular working seminars, to international conferences, guest seminars and public events. Our aim is to create a welcoming and stimulating atmosphere for both social and scientific exchange. Together with its sister organization, Centre for European Studies (CES), CERGU also promotes the integration of teaching and research about European issues. Many of the researchers affiliated with CERGU teach courses in the two programs of European Studies, as well as within their home departments.

Required qualifications: Doctoral degree in humanities or social science disciplines (including economics and law), or a set date for the thesis defence (no later than 31 December 2014). The degree must have been completed within the three years preceding the application deadline and applicants must not have previously been employed as a post-doctoral researcher.
