Applications are invited for a Research Assistant in Constitutional/Comparative Law on an ERC-funded project, The Foundations of Institutional Authority (FIAT) at the Centre for Constitutional Studies in University College Dublin. The project investigates the factors that contribute to the establishment and maintenance of constitutional governance and the rule of law across six case studies.

The overall goal of the project is to identify the factors that shape these processes; and potential responses to them, with a particular focus on understanding how the authority of institutions such as courts, parliament and other public bodies are preserved or weakened. The project team have collected and are currently analysing data from the six case studies. This position is for a research assistant to support the team in this process.
