This position as researcher is associated with the research program State-Making and the Origins of Global Order in the Long Nineteenth Century and Beyond (STANCE), led by Professor Jan Teorell at the Department of Political Science in Lund, and funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (www.stanceatlund. org). The project started in 2015 and will end in 2020. Overall, the project aims to bridge the gaps between comparative politics and IR, and between the study of political thought and positive empirical political science. Three overall research themes build the core of this research program: (1) How did the different dimensions of state-making, including internal and external sovereignty, revenue extraction, professionalization of the bureaucracy and the development of infrastructural capacity, evolve and interact during this time period? What actors and organized interests supported or put up resistance to these processes? (2) How were these dimensions of state-making affected by geopolitical competition, warfare and the diffusion of novel political technologies? (3) What were the consequences for the international system, both with respect to the type of state that emerged and what entities were granted membership in the state system?

The holder of this position will be expected to continue and develop earlier conducted research within the STANCE project, especially in the field of IR and international security.

Qualifications
Research skills and academic promise will be the main selection criteria, but teaching skills will also be considered. Proficiency in spoken and written English is a requirement. The ability to conduct research independently and the capacity to contribute to the research program are very important considerations. Previous experience of working within the STANCE project is a requirement.

Appointment Procedure
The Lund University job application portal should be used when applying. Your application must contain a cover letter and a CV.
