Announcement of Postdoctoral Research Position
The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) is a multidisciplinary research institute located in Bangalore. We are
searching for a postdoctoral level social scientist to work in our research programme entitled 'Provincial Globalisation: The
Impact of Reverse Transnational Flows in India's Regional Towns'. This is an international collaborative programme of
the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR), University of Amsterdam (UvA), and NIAS, funded by the
WOTRO Science for Global Development Integrated Programme (the Netherlands). This five-year research programme
will explore processes of globalisation at the regional level by mapping transnational networks and flows of resources
connecting migrants with their home regions, and the influence of these transfers on local political, economic, and socialcultural
structures and processes.
Eligibility:
The selected researcher will design and carry out an independent project on transnational migration and resource flows
from migrants. Candidates should have finished the PhD degree in any social science (except economics), preferably with
specialisation in migration, transnational, and/or development studies. The successful candidate will have strong analytical
skills, a sound conceptual/theoretical grounding in his/her discipline, the ability to utilise and combine diverse data sources
at different scales, and excellent writing and organisational skills. The postdoctoral researcher will work in an international
multidisciplinary team that includes specialisations in anthropology, sociology and economics.
This is a full-time two-year position based at NIAS. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Applications:
Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae including the names and addresses of three referees, a sample of published
work, and a brief research proposal (3-5 pages) based on the detailed outline of the research programme, which will be
sent to applicants upon enquiry. Interested candidates may write to [email protected] for further details.
The deadline for applications is January 15, 2011. Short-listed candidates will be invited to NIAS for an interview.
