Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Peace and Conflict
Studies within the new
National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Otago, New Zealand. This
Centre will commence with the appointment of Professor Kevin P Clements as
Foundation Director
in January 2009. This is a unique opportunity to join the Foundation
Director in the strategic
development of a distinctive New Zealand
theory, research and practice Centre in Peace and
Conflict Studies. Its research foci will initially be on the specific
development and peacebuilding
needs of New Zealand and the South West Pacific, but it will
engage wider global challenges to
peace and security as well.
Applications are invited from all areas within Peace and Conflict Studies but
preference will be
given to those with specific research interests in Conflict Analysis and
Conflict Transformation; Pre
and Post-Conflict Development and Peacebuilding; Religion and Conflict and/or
the State and
Violence.
Situated on the south-eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, Dunedin possesses a unique
combination of cultural riches, fine architecture, world-famous wildlife
reserves and is recognised
for its spectacular scenery. The University of Otago is New Zealand’s top-ranked university for
research.
Successful candidates should have a PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies or in
closely related fields
in the Social and Behavioural Sciences. The appointment is for a
period of two years.
