Offer Description
The Department of Public Law and Governance (PLG) at Tilburg Law School offers four visiting research fellowships for a six-month period (September-February or February-July) as part of the Research Project Imperialism, Business & Human Rights | Tilburg University conducted by dr. Dalia Palombo | Tilburg University (Assistant Professor of Human Rights Law and Principal Investigator).
The fellows’ profile
The Fellows will be, ideally, students writing their PhD in any social science field who are interested in spending a semester conducting research on their PhD as well as on the Principal Investigator Research Project at Tilburg Law School. If you are not formally enrolled in a PhD but are pursuing an individual research project in any social science field that would fit the Principal Investigator Research Project, you are welcome to apply.
The fellows’ individual research project
The Fellow’s Individual Research Project (i.e. your PhD) should be focused on decolonial approaches, indigenous methodologies, non-Western philosophical foundations of human rights or a related topic.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
What do we ask?
The fellows will be expected to contribute to the Principal Investigator Research Project in the following two ways.
First, each Fellow will develop his/her own Individual Research Project (60% of the time). The findings of this research will be analyzed and discussed with the Principal Investigator and the other Fellows in both teams and individual meetings. The purpose of these meetings would be to initiate a dialogue beneficial to both the Principal Investigator Research Project and the Individual Research Project developed by each Fellow.
Second, each Fellow will submit a literature review on a topic previously defined by the Fellow and the Principal Investigator and related to the Fellow’s individual research project. The literature review will be used by the Principal Investigator in order to write part of her Research Project. Fellows shall expect to spend 40% of their time on the literature review.

Benefits
What do we offer?
Tilburg University is committed to an open and inclusive culture, embracing diversity, and encouraging the mutual integration of groups of staff and students. We create equal opportunities for all our staff and students so that everyone feels at home in our university community.
We work in a vibrant and lively (work) environment on our beautiful campus, close to the forest and easily accessible by public transport. We are committed to a sustainable society and challenge you to make an active contribution to this.
Tilburg Law School offers shared office space and library access. Based on the fellow's situation, an adequate offer will be drawn up for travel expenses, accommodation expenses and a daily living allowance within the fiscal possibilities. In principle, these conditions apply only if the fellow is not employed elsewhere.
Individual Research Time
60% of your time would be available to you to develop your individual research agenda. You will have several opportunities to discuss your research with the Principal Investigator, your fellow colleagues, as well as other members of the PLG Department at Tilburg Law School.
The visiting fellowship lasts six months and it is an opportunity for you to have a break from your usual work in order to conduct research. Tilburg University will not be your employer, and the Principal Investigator will not become your PhD supervisor. Furthermore, you will not become a co-author of the outputs generated by the Principal Investigator Research Project.

We invite you to apply online for this position by May 1st, 2024.
Your application shall include the following documents:
- Curriculum Vitae
- One-page Description of your Individual Research Project
- One-page Motivation Letter specifically addressing how your Individual Research Project would fit within the Principal Investigator Research Project.
