CEPRI - Centre for Private Governance at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, hosts an externally funded, collaborative research project for which we are seeking applications for 1 postdoctoral position.
The position is available from 1 September 2023 and for the duration between 2 years.
Introduction
The position is part of an externally funded project Purchase Power – SPP through private law enforcement (PURPLE) PurpLE aims to analyse EU and national public procurement laws from various national contract law perspectives. That is since the goals of public procurement are embedded in the public contracts, which are often regulated by contract law. Consequently, the latter implements public procurement aims and therefore affects if and how e.g. sustainable procurement goals are achieved.
The project is hosted by CEPRI - Centre for Private Governance, which is a collaborative research centre. The overall aim of the centre is to conduct research on the legal implications of private governance, i.e. private actors taking over (traditionally) public tasks and functions. CEPRI provides a stimulating, diverse and inclusive work environment with approx. 25 researchers with various legal expertise and background, both international and Danish.
About the position
We offer 1 postdoctoral position in which the researcher is to focus on research related to thematic overall questions of:
- How does public procurement law impact the interpretation of contract law?
