The department of Public Law and Governance (PLG) is looking for 2 PhD candidates who will be working within the project ‘Causal Pattern Analysis of Economic Sovereignty’ (CaPANES), which is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant 2021).

You will develop and grow in research, both individually and as part of a team of fourteen legal historians.
  
Job Description 
As PhD candidate in legal history, you will analyze the historical use of sovereignty concepts in cities of commerce. The CaPANES project hypothesizes that in the early modern period cities of commerce, even within states, had foreign relations of their own and made strategic use of legal terms that defined their economic sovereignty. The CaPANES project pursues legal-historical analysis of both the domestic context of cities of commerce and of their interactions with other cities and states. The CaPANES combines qualitative and quantitative methods (social network analysis, modelling), and aims to yield conclusions that are relevant also for discussions on present-day economic sovereignty. The PhD candidates will analyze the interactions between six cities of commerce (Florence, Toulouse, Rouen, Bruges, Southampton and Lübeck). The first PhD position is concerned with Bruges, Southampton and Florence (c. 1400-c. 1520), the second PhD position with Rouen, Lübeck and Toulouse (c. 1400-c. 1550). 20% of the appointment may be dedicated to teaching and/or administration.

You have studied law and/or history and have written one or more papers on an institutional-historical or legal-historical topic. Candidates should demonstrate their interest in history and research methods (qualitative and/or quantitative). Acquaintance with archival research is a plus. 

 

Candidates are expected to combine good research skills with experience in networking and communicative skills and to have an entrepreneurial mindset. You have scientific integrity and will contribute to an open and diversified culture of excellence. You are committed to becoming an active member of our team, the department, and the school.

 

For the two positions it is required that candidates have high proficiency in English, both written and spoken. Candidates for the first PhD position (Bruges-Southampton-Florence) have a good command of Dutch (reading) and preferably French and/or Italian (reading). Candidates for the second PhD position (Rouen-Lübeck-Toulouse) have a good command of French (reading) and German or Dutch (reading). 

 

To maintain a vibrant and active university community, it is important that we meet each other regularly and that the connection between us remains good. Therefore, the premise is that all staff members carry out their work in the Netherlands.
