The successful candidate will work in the project “Ending External Interventions: Success, Failure and Exit Dilemmas” (funded by the Leibniz Competition) alongside another Doctoral Research Fellow, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and the Principal Investigator. The project is motivated by the question: How does the success or failure of external interventions affect their termination and post-exit legacies? Research on sanctions, peacekeeping missions, and military operations has addressed the effectiveness of these different types of intervention, but knowledge on exit decisions and post-exit legacies remains limited. The project will thus analyse the causes, processes, and consequences of ending external interventions.

Preferred start date: 1 September 2026

Screening of applications will begin on 12 June 2026.
