Post-Doctoral Researcher: Intelligence in the Global South (1,0 FTE)
The Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA) at Leiden University is looking for a post-doctoral researcher in the field of intelligence in the global south.
Project description
The ISGA seeks to appoint a full-time post-doctoral researcher to join the research group for a period of 24 months at 1,0 FTE (1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027). The position is funded by a grant from The Netherlands’ Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and administered by the FGGA, led by Dr. Zakia Shiraz.
