Postdoctoral Scholar, Dept. of Planning, Policy, & Design

A postdoctoral research position is available in The Center for Unconventional Security Affairs (CUSA) at University of California, Irvine. CUSA is seeking a qualified candidate with experience in human, environmental, international and unconventional security with a broad interest in global change, transnational threats and security. The research component of CUSA focuses on undertaking high quality, interdisciplinary social science research on unconventional security threats and responses to those threats; encouraging the inclusion of social science perspectives and expertise in relevant projects that are primarily natural science based; and fostering participatory research that integrates real world experts into academic research teams, a strategy that was used to great effect in an earlier study on the politics of the transnational mine ban movement.

Requirements – We seek candidates with a recent doctoral degree in a field related to unconventional security including, but not limited to Political Science, Social Ecology, or International Studies. The postdoctoral scholar will work under the supervision of the Director of the Center for Unconventional Security Affairs (CUSA) to support the research, education and outreach efforts of CUSA and its Coalition Advocating Human Security (CAHS) program. The candidate will be participating in research projects on human security issues and support and manage the activities of the Center’s research programs through undertaking research, overseeing data collection and analysis, presenting results, preparing manuscripts, and developing funding proposals for projects.

The initial appointment is for 1 year and can begin immediately. This position may be extendable for additional years by mutual agreement and given the availability of funding. Salary depends on experience.
