FULLY-FUNDED PHD POSITIONS ON OIL, THE STATE, AND THE ENERGY TRANSITION IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH

They're opening three to four fully funded PhD positions at the University of the Basque Country (EHU) for S-OIL, my five-year project on national oil companies (NOCs) and the politics of decarbonisation across the Global South funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

The project investigates what happens to the state when the oil economy on which it was built faces an uncertain future. We're seeking researchers willing to conduct research through in-depth fieldwork in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each position includes a salary, funded research stays at partner institutions, and substantial fieldwork support.

Candidates should have a grounding in political economy, development studies, anthropology, geography or related disciplines, and be interested in the politics of fossil fuels and the state beyond technocratic and market-driven framings.

Non-European applicants are especially welcome.

When formal applications open through EHU's Doctoral School, you'll need transcripts, a CV, and a statement of research interests. For more information, get in touch with Aritz Landeta, S-OIL's project assistant, at [email protected]
