About the FDEF

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) at the University of Luxembourg offers a unique academic and research environment.
Rooted in Luxembourg but with a European and international outlook,
teaching and research benefit from the proximity of the European institutions, Luxembourg's leading international financial centre and its vibrant business community. Institutional and private sector partnerships, sponsored Chairs and a growing network of international partner universities make the FDEF a dynamic academic hub at the heart of Europe.

Your role

The Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg is looking for a PhD candidate to conduct research in in the areas of criminal law and/or criminal procedure law, ideally in connection with its European, international and interdisciplinary aspects.

The doctoral researcher will be working under the supervision of Professor Stefan Braum. The thesis work will be undertaken at the University of Luxembourg but can also be jointly-supervised with another university. The suggested theme of the PhD falls within one of the above-mentioned fields and can address current issues in the area of freedom, security and justice, in particular the impact of digitalisation on national and European criminal justice systems. The candidate is, however, welcome to suggest any other topic within the overarching project theme. The doctoral candidate will contribute to the teaching of classes ranging from one to three hours per week, of small group teachings and tutorials.

The doctoral researcher will benefit from being part of a small research group comprising several PhDs and Postdoctoral Researchers working on related topics of European (Criminal) Law and human rights. In particular, the PhD candidate may be involved in ongoing research projects on European sovereignty ("Chaire Internationale L'Europe Souveraine à l'Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour") and the development of the rule of law in the Global South. Being part of the project will allow the doctoral researcher to enhance his/her knowledge-base and experience; working on the various aspects of the project will not only strengthen his/her academic profile, but also give him/her access to (and the chance to critically engage with) some of the most renowned experts in the field.
