The Ireland India Institute, Dublin City University are looking for a dynamic and motivated full-time doctoral researcher, to pursue a PhD in the context of project ‘Global India’, a new European Training Network (Horizon 2020).
DCU is seeking to recruit a PhD candidate to examine women's political participation in Indian politics. The project title is Gender and political parties in India: pathways to women’s political participation? The project will address pathways and obstacles within political parties to the selection of women as candidates, including institutional barriers, cultural barriers and/or the social construction of gender within religious and secular discourses in India. The project could also analyse these processes on women's participation in political institutions.
The GLOBAL INDIA ETN will deliver a world-class multi-sectoral doctoral training programme focused on India’s emergence as a global and regional power, and its relationship with the EU. The European Training Network is a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral network bringing together six leading European universities, with six leading Indian universities, and six non-university partners. The network will train 15 Early Career Researchers, focusing on both academic excellence and professional, transferable, skills. All researchers will spend a semester in an Indian University and have a work placement in one of the non-university partners. In the four years of the programme there will be 10 network events in both Europe and India. The research topics are grouped around four themes: (1) Indian democracy and social inequality, (2) External economic relations and trade, (3) External relations – foreign and security policy and (4) India and global environmental politics. The academic partners involved in the project are: Barcelona Institute of International Studies Barcelona (IBEI), Dublin City University Dublin, King’s College London, University of Leuven, University of Heidelberg, University of Warsaw, Banaras Hindu University Varanasi, Calcutta University, Jamia Millia, Islamia University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Mumbai University and Jadavpur University.
