International Scholarship : Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar
The Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar's (GU-Qatar) Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) invites applications for the 2011-2012 post-doctoral fellowship. The fellowship will support a recent Ph.D. recipient in any discipline working on the Middle East and/or Islamic Studies. Priority is given to projects with demonstrated relevance to the Persian Gulf.
The fellow resides at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar. In the absence of teaching responsibilities, the fellow is expected to work on turning his or her dissertation into a book manuscript for publication. The recipient also participates fully in the academic and intellectual life of the CIRS and Georgetown University-Qatar, including delivering occasional lectures and taking part in the CIRS’s academic seminars and conferences. Georgetown University affiliates also benefit from interaction with a community of scholars in Education City who teach in the other branch campuses of Carnegie-Mellon University, Northwestern University, Weill Cornell Medical College, Texas A&M University, and Virginia Commonwealth University.
The term of the award runs August 1, 2011, through July 31, 2012. Applicants must have completed a PhD (in hand) between August 1, 2008 and July 31, 2011. The fellow will be given access to the University’s library, office space and equipment, and administrative support. Pending review of final draft, CIRS may provide support for a subvention agreement with a reputable academic press.
Compensation, benefits and other terms of employment are highly competitive. The package includes stipend, housing, roundtrip airfare to Doha, health insurance, and car allowance.
Review of applications begins January 4, 2011.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, three letters of recommendation (including one from the chair of the dissertation committee), and a synopsis of the Ph.D. dissertation. Also, candidates should provide a statement outlining the precise nature of the intended work during the period of the fellowship, the final product’s significance for the relevant literature, and when the completion of the project for publication may be expected.

PhD Position, AISSR
Beasiswa Scholarships : PhD candidate
1.0 FTE (38hrs/week)
vacancy number 10-2084
‘Comparative labour relations, internationalisation and inequality'
The area is directed by Prof. Jelle Visser (AISSR and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS)), in cooperation with Prof. Herman van de Werfhorst (AISSR and the Amsterdam Centre for Inequality Studies (AMCIS)).
This is an ‘open' advertisement, meaning that applications are invited on the basis of the candidates' own research proposals. Only proposals that fall within the themes of the group's research programme will be considered. Please consult the programme description by following the link 'Institutions, Inequalities and Internationalisation' below.
Within the area of 'Comparative labour relations, internationalisation and inequality' comparison of labour relations (unions, collective bargaining, industrial conflict, minimum wage setting, labour standards) is the main focus of research. Three themes are of particular interest on the present research agenda, but this list is not exhaustive.
1. The explanation of the stagnation of real wages and the rise in inequality in many countries in relation to union power and changes in collective bargaining and minimum wage setting. This can be studied cross-sectionally and chronologically, at the aggregate level (entire economies, for particular sectors, and at the level of firms), for instance with the help of the European company survey.
2. The role and diffusion of labour standards in developing economies in relation to economic and social development, competitive advantage and narrowing income differences between poor and rich countries.
3. Regional integration (in different areas of the world) and the development of social policies and transnational labour relations.
The research makes use of various quantitative databases, such as the Database on Institutional Characteristics of Trade Unions, Wage Setting, State Intervention and Social Pacts in 34 countries between1960 and 2009 (ICTWSS), which can be accessed at the AIAS website, databases at ILO, OECD, the Worldbank, Eurostat and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.
Within these loosely defined research themes, a specific PhD project will be defined in cooperation between the PhD researcher and the supervisor, matching the interests and skills of the researcher. Applicants are invited to write a three-page research proposal which, if selected, can be the basis of the research for the PhD thesis.
Tasks
* Conducting research, writing a dissertation and other publications
* Teaching in the field of social sciences for at least 10% of the time
* Participating in the AISSR PhD programme, including following courses

* Selection will be based on the quality of research plan and CV
Further information
Further enquiries can be obtained from Prof. Jelle Visser (jelle.visser@uva.nl).
Appointment
