New interdisciplinary advanced Master in Global Health starts in Belgium

Five Belgian universities (Antwerp University, Catholic University of Leuven, Ghent University, Hasselt University & Vrije Universiteit Brussel) are organizing a new international and interdisciplinary advanced Master in Global Health.

This master will prepare students to become catalysts for change as global health professionals. Chronic conditions, mental health and ageing, but also the effects of pollution, climate change and migration on health are global challenges of the 21st century. Such challenges can only be effectively addressed through an interdisciplinary, intersectoral, global approach that tackles their multiple causes and consequences. The Master of Science in Global Health will provide the necessary knowledge and skills to manage these complexities by giving a sound theoretical basis, mixed with applied classes and an internship.

Advantages of the programme:

  • Adopting a truly interdisciplinary approach 
  • A collaboration between five top Belgian universities
  • Emphasizing strong individual mentorship
  • Connecting with the professional world
  • Applying an innovative educational concept
  • Learning in the heart of Europe

The Van Vollenhoven Institute for Law, Governance & Society at the Leiden Law School currently has vacancies for two PhD candidates to work on “Migration and the Family in Morocco” as part of the  research project “Living on the Other Side”.

Both PhD projects will be carried out in Morocco. The aim is to gain a detailed understanding of the ways in which the legal rights of migrants are regulated, distributed, and claimed in the domain of family law by focusing on four Moroccan cities.

The project is led by Dr Nadia Sonneveld and funded by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) by means of an Innovational Research Incentives Scheme, also known as the VIDI grant.

Deadline: 18 March 2019

Three post-doctoral positions | China, Law & Development Project | University of Oxford, UK

The China, Law and Development (CLD) project based at the University of Oxford is seeking three Post-Doctoral Research Associates (PDRAs).

CLD is a unique inter-disciplinary and multi-sited research project that aims to understand the nature of order that underlies China’s new globalism, an order that has multiple sources, one of which may be law. This project breaks new ground in analysing Chinese approaches to “law and development” in recipient or host states in the global South.

PDRAs will join an international research team in developing empirical data on China’s impact on law and development in host states. Each PDRA will be responsible for conducting a case study that examines different emergent formations of China’s globalism, working in field sites in Southeast Asia (e.g. Cambodia or Thailand), Central Asia (e.g. Kazakhstan or Tajikistan), or Africa and the Middle East (e.g. Algeria or the United Arab Emirates).

The posts would suit either a) social scientists (with training in sociology, anthropology, developmental economics, political science, etc.) who focuses on law, or b) legal scholars who are trained in social scientific methods. These are full-time posts, fixed-term for 28 months starting on 1 September 2019, and including a 12 month period of fieldwork.

For more details and to apply, visit the University of Oxford website

Deadline: 8 March 2019
