The Institute of Social Studies in The Hague (part of Erasmus University Rotterdam) invites applications for three fully funded PhD positions commencing in January 2016. The positions will be part of the research project entitled ‘When disasters meet conflict. Disaster response of humanitarian aid and local state and non-state institutions in different conflict scenarios’. This programme is funded by the Netherlands Research Council NWO under the VICI scheme, which was awarded to Professor Dorothea Hilhorst for a period of five years starting in October 2015.
