_____________________________________________________________________________________________ BLAVATNIK SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT Summary Job title Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Minerva Global Security Programme (Middle East) Division Social Sciences Department Blavatnik School of Government Location Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG Grade and salary Grade 7: £36,024 - £38,205 per annum, dependent on experience Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term for 12 months Reporting to Dr Annette Idler, Associate Professor in Global Security, and Director of the Minerva Programme on Global Security Vacancy reference 170415 Additional information The closing date for application is 12 noon (UK time) on 12 February 2024. The role The Blavatnik School of Government is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for Minerva Global Security Programme: Contested Cross-border Spaces, Illicit Flows, and Order in the Contemporary World. Led by the Principal Investigator (PI), Dr Annette Idler (University of Oxford), the project seeks to illuminate the dynamic interactions of the political, economic, and social dimensions of global security: global order, transnational supply chains and local experiences of instability. Networked illicit flows of weapons, drugs, money, and trafficked people span contested cross-border spaces embedded in unstable regions. They can turn local security risks into a globally relevant phenomenon. We study how this mechanism works, and how it helps proliferate cross-border violence, strengthen armed actors, and shift the global balance of power. We expect that, together, these intersecting dynamics undermine global security, influencing order in the contemporary world. We work across different levels of analysis ranging from the local, and national, to the transnational and global level, with a particular focus on Ukraine/Russia, South Asia, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, the Andean Region, and the Golden Triangle.
