Significant efforts will be directed to distinguishing connexin hemichannel unitary currents in single cardiomyocytes from other classic ion channels (f.e. sodium, potassium and chloride channels).

Ph.D. candidate Transitional Justice, Understanding the Age of Transitional Justice: Narratives in a Historical Perspective. NIOD University of Amsterdam‏

Ph.D. candidate Transitional Justice

Full-time for four years

"Understanding the Age of Transitional Justice: Narratives in a
Historical Perspective"

The general goal of the NIOD program on Transitional justice is to
contribute to understanding the impact and aftermath of mass
state-sponsored human rights violations on post-genocidal,
post-conflict, post-repressive societies. In pursuit of a
conceptualization of generic mechanisms and factors that influence
genocidal crimes and the subsequent transitional justice processes,
this program opts for the portal of the personal, the legal, and the
political narrative. It will examine the various phases and levels at
which testimonies, or narratives of events, play a role in influencing
the form of TJ undertaken by a given post-repressive society.

The levels may be distinguished as follows:
• The victims (the individuals telling their story)
• The institutions for the administration of Transitional Justice (the
narrative of judicial and extra-judicial authorities)
• The validators, or `form-givers' – political elites, media, police,
and other relevant actors – who selectively frame the public debate
and impart the narratives and the use of narratives (produced in
trials, vetting procedures, truth commissions, NGO-sponsored oral
histories) with a particular political and social significance.

A dynamic multi-leveled approach that aims to reveal the interaction
between the testimonies, the formality of processing them, and the
developing political system should shed light on the individual,
psychological, social, and political impact/consequences of TJ
processes. The NIOD has created a PhD position in order to study the
role, impact, and significance of testimonies in transitional justice.

Qualified candidates are invited to send a one-page proposal (max. 500
words) on the research they propose to conduct, dealing with cases,
possibly a comparison of cases, connected to this general topic,
within the framework of the NIOD TJ program.

Job requirements
• Master's in History, Law, or Social- and Political Sciences
• Professional experience on topics related to the program
• Self-reliant
• Experience with modern information technology
• Professional attitude with excellent communication skills
• Fluent English
• Skilled in the development of proposals which could, via the
content, design, and execution, fundamentally augment the Transitional
Justice program

Appointment
This is a fulltime position of 38 hours per week for a period of four
years at the NIOD (contingent upon a one-year trial period). The
successful candidate must prepare a PhD thesis to be defended at the
University of Amsterdam.

We offer:
The NIOD offers an informal, internationally-oriented working
environment with a great deal of room for individual initiative and
responsibility. The salary for a full-time position is
€ 2,042.00 per month gross (scale: doctoral student, collective labour
agreement Dutch Universities), excluding 8% vacation bonus and an 8.3%
end-of-the-year bonus. There is an additional extensive secondary
benefits packet.
