2 x 65 % PhD Researcher
At the University of Bremen the Collaborative Research Center 1342 “Global Dynamics of Social Policy” invites applications for the following academic position -under the condition of job release-
*2 x PhD Researcher Salary Scale TV-L 13, part-time 65%, start date: as soon as possible. The position is a fixed term position until December 31, 2021. Reference number: A12/18*
The position is part of the Collaborative Research Center “Global Dynamics of Social Policy” (Globale Entwicklungsdynamiken von Sozialpolitik) funded by the German Research Foundation and will be located within the project
*A05: The global development, diffusion and transformation of education systems*
*Project Description* The CRC comprises 15 projects and is divided into two sections. Projects in section A mainly rely on macro quantitative techniques to analyse and explain social policy dynamics in a global perspective. In the projects of section B, the mechanisms that link international interdependencies and national determinants to the spread, inclusiveness, and generosity of social policy dynamics are analysed by applying qualitative case study analyses.
In project A05, led by Prof. Dr. Kerstin Martens and Prof. Dr. Michael Windzio, the global diffusion of state-organized education systems and their transformation will be analysed since its historical origins. This will be done by collecting event and network data (introduction of state regulation of compulsory school attendance, state funding of the education system, etc.). In addition, the extent of the vertical interdependence with the international organizations (IOs) will be investigated.
*Responsibilities* Social scientists with thorough quantitative methodological expertise and knowledge in the field of network analysis and educational policy/sociology are jointly responsible for data collection, econometric and spatial analyses of global education data and analysis of network diffusion. They closely collaborate in the creation of the data set, support in coding data and collection and analysis of appropriate documents. The successful candidate will prepare a PhD dissertation thematically related to the project, to be completed by December 31, 2021.
*Requirements*
* M.A. Degree in Sociology, Political Science or Economics, or similar * In-depth knowledge of quantitative methods, in particular advanced regression analysis. Profound knowledge in social network analysis and/or spatial econometrics is desirable. * Candidates should be familiar with research on world cultures and theories on diffusion, e.g. neo-institutionalism * Candidates should be interested in education policy and education systems * Working knowledge of German preferred (or strong interest and willingness to learn German)
