Postdoc in European Research (1-2 positions)
CERGU was established in 1995, and the centre’s network-based structure allows our scholars to combine disciplinary depth with multidisciplinary insights on European issues (see www.cergu.gu.se). CERGU’s mission is to promote multidisciplinary research on Europe and serve as a knowledge hub stimulating multidisciplinary and policy-relevant debate on European challenges. CERGU has a strong emphasis on ‘talent development’ of young researchers. We offer a welcoming and stimulating atmosphere and provide an opportunity for early career scholars to pursue their own multidisciplinary research project in European research, in line with CERGU research themes, for two years.
