Description

YOUR TASKS

In the framework of the four-year research project ‘ReConnect China: Upgrading Independent Knowledge on Contemporary China in Europe' (HORIZON- CL2-2021-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-07), funded by the European Commission, there is a vacancy for a temporary mandate (1 November 2022–31 October 2026) of 50 % of a full-time employment at post-doc level at Ghent University, Belgium.

In the contemporary geopolitical world, de European Union and China are in a constant dynamic relationship. The question is in which domains EU collaboration with China is desirable, possible, or impossible.

This research project will work towards a resilient future with China for the EU and its citizens.
