Hi Chloe,

Here's an opportunity but a bit different. You can check it out though if you
find it interesting http://www.ascleiden.nl/About/Vacancies.aspx

Below is also a detailed information about the research position.

Cheers,
Patience

African Studies Centre, Netherlands

The ASC is seeking to recruit a

Researcher (M/F), full-time position (vacancy nr. 001SMPC)

with a proven record of achievement in the socio-political analysis of Africa,
who will develop and carry out research on the political and socio-economic
aspects of Africa's changing position in the world, including its relations
with such emerging powers as Brazil, China and India, and their impact on
African societies.
The researcher will be affiliated with the research group "Social Movements and
Political Culture" (SMPC), and will be expected to cooperate with other
research groups too, "Economy, Environment and Exploitation" in particular.
There is no strict geographical preference, although candidates with a good
knowledge of Central Africa (the Great Lakes region), West Central Africa (CAR,
Gabon, Republic of Congo), or Lusophone Africa are particularly encouraged to
apply.

The position involves:
- carrying out original empirical research on the above-mentioned theme in
collaboration with members of the SMPC research group and other ASC researchers
- seeking additional funding for this research from external sources
- publish research findings in scientific journals and books, as well as
disseminate the results at conferences
- contributing to student supervision and the teaching programme in the joint
ASC/Leiden University Research Masters in African Studies
- giving advice and presentations to the media and public institutions,
including policy makers, and participating in public debates on African issues
and his/her field of research
- the candidate will be expected to acquire a working knowledge of the Dutch
language within a reasonable period of time.

The successful candidate will have:
- a PhD in one of the social sciences or related sciences on an African subject
- broad intellectual interests, an openness to other disciplines, and an
interest in combining theory and empirical research
- a good general knowledge of African studies and of, at least, one region in
Sub-Saharan Africa
- extensive research experience in Africa
- an good record of publications
- an excellent knowledge of English and, preferably, of French or Portuguese
- some experience in raising external funding and a willingness to pursue this.

This is a challenging position in an inspiring academic environment. The salary,
depending on experience, will be on scale 11 of the Netherlands university
salary scale, (max. € 4284,- before tax). The appointment will initially be for
one year only, with a possible extension of a further three years and a
permanent position after this.

Applications
A letter of application, a curriculum vitae, including a list of publications,
and an outline of a proposed research project (1 page maximum), should be sent
to the ASC Director, and should arrive by 16 July at the latest.
