Dear colleagues,

Cosmopolis: Centre for Urban Research at Vrije Universiteit Brussels (Belgium) is hiring a fulltime Postdoctoral Researcher in the context of FinanceEurope, a FWO-sponsored research project themed “Reconstructing the changing financial geography of the European Union (1985-2007) through narratives, numbers, and networks of European financial elites.”
 
The research of the postdoctoral researcher will primarily involve a mapping of the Europeanization of banking networks in addition to in-depth case studies of a panel of European banks in terms of their geographical strategies during the study period. The successful candidate will work in close synergy with a PhD researcher, who is focusing on the elite network aspects of the project.
 
The candidate should have a strong track record in studying finance through mixed-method approaches. Knowledge of financial geography is elementary, but the position is open to candidates from a diverse disciplinary background (e.g. anthropology, economics, geography, history, sociology). Knowledge of Dutch or French is not a requirement, but is considered an asset. The position primarily involves research, but the candidate is also expected to engage in a modest amount of teaching in the MSc Geography and MSc Urban Studies programs.
 
Preferred starting date is 1 October 2018. We offer a full-time contract for a period of 20 to 24 months. More info on Cosmopolis here http://www.cosmopolis.be/ and on Vrije Universiteit Brussels here http://www.vub.ac.be/. Cosmopolis is also a member organization of FinGeo: The Global Network on Financial Geography, more info here http://www.fingeo.net/.
 
Potential candidates are asked to send a full academic CV and a 2-page motivation letter to Prof. David Bassens, e-mail [log in to unmask], by 15 August 2018. The same address applies for all queries about the position.
 
Best wishes,
David
