Open PhD positions in law on the Human Rights Nudge Project.

The PhD scholarship is fully funded and salaried. PhD positions can commence in 1 September 2021.

The position is part of the ERC research project “Human Rights Nudge”, which is a project hosted by the Center of Excellence for International Courts (iCourts), that seeks to understand how and when state change their behaviour in the area of human rights. It applies quantitative analysis and behavioural economics to the analysis of how states comply with decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. The team will build on insights from behavioural economics, psychology, and social sciences to come up with new solutions which governments, communities and even individuals can employ in the future. Our main purpose is to establish how we can deter and minimise violations of human rights in the future.
