Employment opportunities
As an institution funded exclusively from grants, the Center for Quantitative Research in Political Science does not employ permanent staff. Yet, it is possible to be temporarily employed within the framework of one of the grants. The information about vacancies and the recruitment is available in the News section.
The research staff working at the Center's projects is organized into a three-level hierarchy: senior researchers, researchers and junior researchers. The seniors' role is to manage the projects and their teams. Junior researchers are interns who carry out the delegated tasks. The intermediate level: researchers are the people who work at the projects independently, but do not perform any managerial functions (usually PhDs, sometimes doctoral students). Researchers and senior researchers can be temporarily employed at the Center as part of a grant carried out within the networking system or as individual research.
An unpaid internship is the primary form of students' and doctoral students' collaboration with the Center. Although the interns are not offered any money for their work, we do our best to provide them with the opportunity to enter the world of professional science: the best of them are given more autonomy in their research work and can be offered temporal employment as researchers in one of the projects.
