Two PhD Positions in Conflict Management in Zürich

Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.

Jobbeschreibung

100%, Zurich, fixed-term

The Research group in Conflict Management hosts a 5-year SNSF-funded project that aims to examine how effective peacekeeping missions are in contributing to the resolution of intra-state and non-state conflicts. The project looks at both the military and diplomatic functions of peacekeeping staff.

Project background

Our research is theory-driven, empirically grounded, and broad in terms of methodology. We focus on the impact of peace mediation and peacekeeping operations on the termination and resolution of armed conflicts. We examine intrastate armed conflicts between government forces and rebel groups, as well as more locally-driven non-state conflicts between organized armed groups or communal groups.

We draw on approaches from political science, international relations, peace and conflict studies, security and strategic studies, and political economy. We use quantitative methods, qualitative methods, or in some cases a mix of both.

Job description

You will be expected to develop your own PhD research project in the field of Conflict Management, focusing preferably on peace mediation and/or peacekeeping operations.

Your profile
  • You possess excellent English language skills, high-level analytical and writing skills, and a well-organized working style. 
  • Applications from candidates that have previously written seminar papers or a MA thesis on mediation, negotiations, peacekeeping, peace processes, or similar topics are particularly welcome.
