Deadline- July 6 2020Fellowship DescriptionCIPS is seeking a skilled and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow to pursue an innovative research program focused on the changing world order and the contemporary challenges to multilateral cooperation.The successful candidate will be part of the Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue’s new project entitled Changing Orders: Shaping the Future and Securing Rights in a World in Transformation (Changing Orders, described below). The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised by Professor Rita Abrahamsen and hosted by the Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS), one of the four centres leading the Changing Orders project.They are particularly interested in proposals that build on the established track-record of CIPS and our World Order Research Program in analyzing the current challenges to multilateral cooperation and investigate opportunities for building a more democratic, just and inclusive world order. Proposals that focus of the role of the Global South in shaping the past, present and future of world order are particularly encouraged, as are proposals focusing on challenges arising from right-wing ideologies and authoritarianism. As such, a background in international relations, international political sociology, and area studies will be highly relevant to this fellowship.It is expected that this postdoctoral work will result in a number of outputs by the end of the fellowship. Research outputs (e.g. policy recommendations and framework proposals) will be disseminated through a series of publications, white papers and other knowledge mobilization activities. The supervisor will also work with the successful applicant to identify opportunities to contribute to the ongoing policy engagement of the centre.About the ProjectThe Postdoctoral Fellow will join a dynamic research and practice community focused on the rapidly changing global order.Bringing together leading research centres and institutes at the University of Ottawa, and financially supported by the Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue, Changing Orders seeks to reveal the fundamental dynamics underlying today’s governance and human rights challenges – at the national and global levels – and to generate new and innovative ideas and policy responses to them. The initiative will mobilize cutting-edge research and networks of decision-makers from a variety of fields to analyse these challenges and co-produce effective solutions. It will also build upon and amplify cutting-edge public interest policy interventions being conducted by project partners at both the domestic and international levels.The Changing Orders project builds on the expertise of the Centre for International Policy Studies (CIPS), the Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC), the University of Ottawa Refugee Hub, and the Institute for Science, Society and Policy (ISSP). The project aims to address two fundamentally important questions: 1) How to secure multilateral cooperation and inclusive and durable democracies in the face of political and technological change; and 2) How to secure fundamental human rights in the face of challenges to the rules-based international order.Position Requirements Doctoral degree in International Relations or related field (e.g., political science, development studies, public policy).
