University of Zurich

PhD position: the impact of mineral governance on miners' property rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)*

Funding: Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF)

Supervisor: Timothy Raeymaekers (Department of Geography)

*Task*:

The candidate will work on a three-year project on transnational mineral governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The project zooms in on the transformation of miners¹ rights through current reform
programmes targeted at so-called Å’conflict minerals¹ in Eastern DRC.
 
The PhD candidate will assess the ways current reform processes impact on the performance of mineral markets as well as the institutional choice patterns of mine workers. In sum the study aims to provide more insights into the political ecology of natural resource markets in countries emerging from protracted armed conflict, specifically detailing
 
(1) the transnational dimension of economic regulation and
 
(2) its impact on the institutional choice patterns of direct natural users of natural resources in the specific case of the DRC.

*Requirements:*

Applications should have completed a MA/MSc degree in geography or any relevant social science domain. They should carry evidence of their capability (and, if possible, prior experience) to do qualitative research in the domains of conflict analysis and resource governance in
Sub-Saharan Africa. They should be willing to spend prolonged periods in the field. Proficiency in French is required, active knowledge of Kiswahili and German will be regarded as an additional asset.

This project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), so candidates are paid by SNF regulations. The post is of limited duration (3 years). A one-year extension is possible if funding continues.

Interested candidates should send a cv, copies of relevant diplomas and
a letter of motivation stating their qualifications for the job in one single pdf file to this email address by 15 May 2013:
