The School of Law at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Research Fellow.
This is an exciting opportunity for a political scientist or legal scholar to join a new multimillion-pound ESRC-funded Research Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP). The Centre spans universities across the four UK administrations as well as international partners and brings together interdisciplinary research in trade, economics, politics, political economy and law. This post is one of three posts to be open at Queen’s University Belfast and Cardiff University to support the delivery of collaborative projects as part of the Negotiating a Turbulent World Research CITP theme considering the governance of UK trade policy. These projects include 1) Governance and Inclusivity in the UK which examines the interactions between trade agreements and devolution, 2) Mapping stakeholder participation to formal and informal trade bodies which examines who, how, to what extent stakeholders are involved in the formulation of trade policy, 3) Transversal policy coherence which evaluates whether there is policy coherence – in terms of inputs and outcomes – across sectors which results in better policy formulation and development to achieve multi-dimensional objectives. Following on from our work on Trade Citizen Juries in 2023, deliberative exercises on trade will also form a crucial part of the research undertaken.
