Job description

The successful applicant will carry out research to gain a deep and critical insight into the nature of the non-discrimination tool, its limits as well as possibilities, as a lever for change throughoutEurope.
The successful candidate is expected to work towards the completion of a Ph.D. that will examine and reflect on the obligation to ensure non-discrimination and equality in the UN CRPD from a comparative and theoretical perspective; examine the drafting history of Article 5 UN CRPD and related articles, and reflect on the relationship between this Article and other provisions of the Convention; and reflect on how the “balancing of interests” foreseen with regard to non-discrimination, and specifically through the “reasonable accommodation” requirement (covered party is obliged to accommodate the needs of a disabled individual unless this would amount to a disproportionate burden) is also reflected implicitly in some other provisions of the Convention, and, in particular in those provisions which require progressive implementation, such as accessibility (in line i.a. with priorities set by States Parties and the availability of resources). The candidate will reflect on whether the balancing and sharing of burdens already required with regard to reasonable accommodation can facilitate a greater understanding of how other provisions of the Convention should be implemented. The candidate will also carry out a case study on the implementation on non-discrimination and equality provisions of the CRPD in a European jurisdiction.
The successful candidate will carry out a three month internship with one of the associated partners within the DREAM Network, e.g. the European Disability Forum or Interrights, and will produce an internal research report for the internship host relating to the subject of the research. The successful applicant will participate in the Graduate School of Law Programme and in theHumanRightsResearchSchool, as well as following research training provided by the DREAM Network. Individual supervision will be provided by Profs. Lisa Waddington and Fons Coomans.

Requirements

The successful applicant must have excellent writing and communication skills in English. Knowledge of Dutch is not required.

Therefore, an individual who was awarded a first masters degree on or after 1 October 2008 is eligible to apply.

Conditions of employment

Researchers will be appointed on a full-time (38 hours per week) fixed term contract for a period of two years, including a three-month internship at an organisation that is an associated partner in the DREAM Network.
