PostDoc Opportunity: Mining and Corporate Accountability in Latin America
The Chair of International Business, Society and Sustainability of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is looking for a full-time (100%) post-doc.
The Postdoc will mainly work in our research project on “Corporate Accountability in Global Supply Chains: The effectiveness of human rights and environmental due diligence regulations” (see https://www.su.se/english/research/research-projects/corporate-accountability-in-global-supply-chains ) funded by the Swedish Wallenberg Foundation. In this project, we study the implementation and consequences of new supply chain regulations based on a human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) approach.
The researcher will conduct comparative case studies on the mining of critical raw materials in Chile and Colombia or Argentina. Responsibilities include collaborating with the team to publish findings in peer-reviewed journals (both as co-author and single author) and presenting research at international conferences.
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with experience in conducting field research, excellent knowledge of Spanish and English and a promising publication record. Among the methods to be used in the field research are semi-structured interviews, a survey and participant observation. Other innovative methods (e.g., transdisciplinary methods, GIS methods or experiments) are welcome.
