The Centre for Social Conflict and Cohesion Studies (COES – FONDAP) invites applications for postdoctoral research positions. COES will develop collaborative research on issues related to social conflict and cohesion (convivencia) in Chile through a multidisciplinary team from the social sciences and humanities. COES will centre its academic and outreach activities on the analysis of the multiple manifestations of social conflict in Chile, its causes as well as historical and cultural context. Our main objective is to contribute to the improvement of social cohesion, not only by generating cutting edge research, but also by informing public policy and social dialogue in Chile through our outreach activities and specific proposals for public action. Applications are open until April 20, 2015. Please send a motivational letter, curriculum vitae, summary of Ph.D. research, brief research proposal (no more than two pages) and two letters of support to comcoes@gmail.com and icaceresd@fen.uchile.cl. Interviews with the selection committee could also be by telephone or through video conference. Info here: http://coes.cl/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/COES-call-for-postdocs-2015.pdf
