The department and the project Societies at risk: The Impact of armed conflict on human development, now seek to hire one teaching assistant/’amanuens’, for a termporary part time employment (20%), until 2 June 2023.
The project started in January 2022 with funding from Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and will run through 2027. This multi-disciplinary program, led by Professor Håvard Hegre, brings together scholars from economics, epidemiology, political science, and conflict research to study the effects of armed conflict in much more detail and comprehensiveness than earlier studies. It takes a risk-analysis perspective, seeing the expected impact as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, and consider effects at both the macro and micro level, on economies, health, water security, political institutions, human rights, forced migration, and gender equality. The project is described more, here. Hazard will be modeled through an early-warning system, expanding the well-established ViEWS system, to alert observers to particularly detrimental occurrences of violence (pcr.uu.se/research/views).
