Dear all,

we're currently looking for 16 young researchers within our Marie Curie
Initial training network.

The project “Socio-economic and Political Responses to Regional
Polarisation in Central and Eastern Europe” (RegPol²) coordinated by the
Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography focusses on new patterns of
regional disparities between metropolitan core regions and the remaining
parts of Central and Eastern European countries (CEE). 16 subprojects
will be dealing with the socio-economic forms of regional polarisation,
their wider impacts on society as well as the responses conveyed by
social, economic and political actors.

All fellows will have the unique opportunity to work in
interdisciplinary and multinational teams with excellent links to
national and international research networks. 

The project consortium is now looking for highly motivated candidates
for 13 ESR positions (36 months) with the starting date 01 September
2014 and 3 ER positions (10 months) with the starting date 01 July 2014.


PhD-projects:
1. Territorial mobility and socio-spatial polarisation in Romania and
Hungary (Cluj-Napoca, Romania)
2. Fuzziness and softness in spatial patterns of regional policies. The
example of the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic and Germany
(Bratislava, Slovakia)
3. European and national regional and innovation policies reproducing
peripheries? – A critical analysis (Tartu, Estonia)
4. Production of core-periphery relations through the social nexuses of
economic agents settled in backward regions (Békéscsaba, Hungary)
5. Development perspectives of village communities in rural Estonia
(Tartu, Estonia)
6. Leadership and institutional change in peripheralised municipalities
(Tartu, Estonia)
7. Path-contingency and path-innovation of regional policies in old and
new economy locations. The examples of Czech Republic, Hungary and
Estonia (Prague, Czech Republic)
8. The role of policy paradigms for the governance of core-periphery
relations in Germany and Romania (Leipzig, Germany)
9. Multilevel governance for balanced development between core and
peripheral spaces. A regional comparison between the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Germany (Bratislava, Slovakia)
10. Everyday practices of adaption and resistance to peripheralisation
at household scale (Békéscsaba, Hungary)
11. The role of social innovation, social entrepreneurship and social
business in regional development. A comparative study between Germany
and Hungary (Potsdam, Germany)
12. The role of business innovation in the development of “peripheral”
and “backward” regions” in East Germany and peripheral Estonia (Leipzig,
Germany)
13. The role of renewable energy in the development of peripheral rural
areas in North-West Romania (Cluj-Napoca, Romania)

PostDoc projects:
1. The formation and (re-)production of spatial social and economic
polarisation (Békéscsaba, Hungary)
2. Theoretical foundations for transnational comparative research on
the governance of core-periphery relations (Tartu, Estonia)
3. Theoretical and conceptual thoughts around the ways of adaptation,
the formation of strategies and the potentials for new developments
(Leipzig, Germany)
