Thus, we welcome applicants from Political economy, Sociology, History, Law and we encourage research projects that focus on Asia's experience from a comparative, historical, or global perspective.ResponsibilitiesThe postdoctoral fellow is required to: contribute to the development and coordination of the CEAFJP’s research axis “Asian Capitalisms: Diversity and Institutional Change”; conduct a research project related to the research axis mentioned above and leading to the presentation of a 30-50 pages’ discussion paper by the end of the fellowship; take an active part in the EU funded research project “Understanding Institutional Change in Asia: a Comparative Perspective with Europe”, including the redaction of its scientific reports; contribute to the preparation of the application to the European Research Council’s call for projects on the research theme mentioned above; give a lecture in an EHESS seminar. EligibilityCandidates must be scholars who have submitted or will submit their PhD thesis between October 2015 and October 2018.
