Dear EPSA community, Joint the team! In the ESRC-funded project "The secret life of norms: A comprehensive analysis of norm change" we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher. The application period ends soon! The project will start on September 1st, 2023 - we are already looking forward to it! Here is the job advertisement: The Department of Politics seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Researcher as part of the ESRC funded project 'The secret life of norms: A comprehensive analysis of norm change'. The project will break new ground by developing a dataset on norm change, recording norm changes across time, international organizations and several policy fields. This goal is to identify patterns of norm change yet unknown and open the door to quantitative norm research. The post is tenable from 01 September 2023 for a fixed term period until 31 August 2027. The Post-doctoral researcher will work under the direction of the Principal Investigator on this project, Prof. Ulrich Petersohn (University of Liverpool), along with the co-investigator Prof. Diana Panke (University of Freiburg). The team has extensive experience in norm research and data-set generation, for instance, the Regional Organizations' Competencies Dataset, or the 'Commercial Military Actor Database'. The Post-doctoral researcher will be expected to have an interest in researching international norms, yet while prior knowledge on the subject is desirable, it is not essential. The Post-doctoral researcher will be an integral part of the project team, and will have responsibilities in the following areas: * Data gathering, and coding of the data, including programming of data gathering tools in R or Python. * Statistical modelling in R, Python or STATA. * Co-authoring project publications with Prof. Petersohn and Prof. Panke. * Supporting and participating in the research through co-ordination and facilitation of, and contributions to, conferences, workshops and other events. * Liaising closely with all members of the project team. * Contributing to external communications and other public engagement activities. * Maintaining the ethical standards and integrity of the project. * Undertaking other duties commensurate with the grade as required by the project. The successful applicant will be based at University of Liverpool.
