Applications are invited for a PhD doctoral researcher within the UCD School of Politics and International Relations to deliver the research objectives of a project funded by the Irish Research Council.

You will conduct a specified programme of doctoral research to contribute to specific work packages of the project, under the supervision and direction of the Principal Investigator - Dr. Stephanie Dornschneider-Elkink.
