Call for applications:
The Perelman Centre for Legal Philosophy
and the Law Department of the Institute for European Studies
(Université Libre de Bruxelles)
are looking for
a full-time Ph.D. Candidate
to work on Media Law and Democratic Regulation in Belgium and Europe.
We are looking for enthusiastic candidates who
hold a Master degree (2nd cycle) in Law,
preferably Belgian and/or European Law, with a
specialization, a professional experience or a
strong interest in the field of Media Law. The
researcher will conduct research mainly in the
field of Belgian media law (and in comparative
and European human rights law), draft reports
and scientific documents in English, and conduct
interviews with media actors in both Dutch and
French, in the framework of a European
Union-funded Research Programme (MEDIADEM).
MEDIADEM (?European Media Policies Revisited:
Valuing and Reclaiming Free and Independent
Media in Contemporary Democratic Systems?) is a
EU-funded (FP7) programme that seeks to
understand and explain the factors that promote
(or conversely hinder) the development of
policies for free and independent media. The
project will combine a country-based study in
Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania,
Slovakia, Spain, Turkey and the UK with a
comparative analysis across media sectors and
types of media services, and will investigate
the complex array of policy approaches and
regulatory and self-regulatory practices
established to safeguard media freedom and
independence. The Programme involves 13 partners across Europe.
The researcher will work under supervision from
senior researchers. Additionally, the researcher
will start writing a PhD thesis in a topic of
Philosophy of law, Legal Theory, European Law or
Media Law and Regulation. Applicants are welcome
to write in English or French.
The candidates will have an excellent knowledge
of Dutch and English. Applicants should be aware
that French is the usual working language at the
Centre Perelman and at the Institute for
European Studies: a satisfying knowledge of French is thus also required.
The applicants will show aptitude for academic
research, collective research and teamwork, and
must have very good writing and IT skills.
Contract start date: 01/01/10
Contract duration: three-year grant.
The candidate may not have previously been
employed under a work contract with the ULB.
