[ecrea] Postdoc researcher vacancy at King's College London

King’s College London invites applications for a position of a research 
associate to work on the INFOCORE project in close collaboration with 
the Principal Investigator at King’s, Professor Christoph Meyer. 
INFOCORE is a major international collaborative research project funded 
under the 7th European Framework Program of the European Union and led 
by the LMU Munich. Its main aim is to investigate the role(s) that media 
play in the emergence or prevention, the escalation or de-escalation, 
the management, resolution, and reconciliation of violent conflict.



The researcher should have a PhD in the area of international relations 
or related disciplines, ideally with a topic involving the role of NGOs 
and/or the media in violent conflict and peace-building. The successful 
candidate will be expected to conduct research on role of NGOs as 
communicators, advocates and sources of open-source intelligence in 
impending, current or past cases of violent conflict. Moreover, the 
postholder will contribute to the sampling of relevant digital content 
for the analysis by other members of the INFOCORE team and conduct 
interviews with practitioners such as journalists, officials, 
politicians, and NGO staff in the UK and France. Working knowledge of 
French and experience of conducting interviews will thus be important 
for this role as well as the ability to work to deadlines and within a 
multi-national team of researchers located across Europe. The candidate 
is expected to publish in high-quality journals and contribute to 
joint-project publications. The project provides some funds for travel 
to present research results at conferences.



For further details, including the job and person-specifications, please 
visit King’s College website and submit your application via the online 
submission system by 20 July. If, after reading the relevant documents, 
candidates have further question they can informally approach Professor 
Meyer at (christoph.meyer /at/ kcl.ac.uk).



Interviews will take place week commencing 11 August 2014.
