[HEI-4C-H] Call for applications Postdoctoral fellow position The Institute for Advanced International Studies from Université Laval offers a one-year full-time postdoctoral fellowship. Applications must be sent by June 1st, 2018 at the latest. Expected starting date of the fellowship: January 1st, 2019 at the latest. Research Topic: The Proliferation of International Institutions HEI AS A HOST ENVIRONMENT The Institute for Advanced International Studies (HEI) is an interdisciplinary centre for advanced international studies and research. HEI has more than 80 members, most of them professors at Université Laval. There are ten research groups affiliated with the HEI. Their expertise covers international security, terrorism, trade, environment and sustainable development, the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Maghreb. HEI also publishes a scholarly journal, Études internationales, and organizes about 60 scientific events per year. RESEARCH TOPIC There are currently tens of thousands of international institutions around the world involved in the governance of a multitude of activities, and this number is growing. For example, according to various estimates, there are over 1000 trade agreements, 3000 investment agreements and 4000 environmental agreements. This proliferation raises a series of questions about its driving forces, its consequences for states and non-states actors, and the growing interactions among international institutions. The postdoctoral fellow will be invited to carry out a research project on this theme in collaboration with researchers from the Institute for Advanced International Studies.
