The Centre of Excellence in Global Governance Research is a research unit
financed by the Academy of Finland, the University of Helsinki, and the
University of Turku. The Centre is administered by the Erik Castrén
Institute of International Law and Human Rights at the Faculty of Law of
the University of Helsinki. The work of the Centre is structured by six
research ventures which combine the methods of law, world politics theory,
and social and cultural anthropology. In addition to a leader, all ventures
consist of senior and post doctoral researchers, as well as doctoral
students. The Centre was established in 2006. It is directed by Professors
Jan Klabbers and Heikki Patomäki.
The five post doctoral positions are in the themes of the research ventures
of the Centre as well as in the new focus areas of the Centre: private

universities.

spoken and written English. In addition, applicants are expected to be able
to perform high level research and publish in international refereed
