INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD (www.iimahd.ernet.in)

Position Announcement (Valid Till 15th February 2008)

Title: Research Fellow (Globalization Cities Local Governance)

Institution and Place: Public Systems Group, Indian Institute of Management,
Ahmedabad, India

Length of Employment: 2 Year Fixed Term, Full Time.

Job Description: The Research Fellow will be working full-time on a 2 Year
Ford Foundation funded research project concerned with impact of
globalization and neoliberal governance on public services in Indian cities,
with a focus on disadvantaged urban communities. The research will examine
how neo-liberal reform reframes the public sphere and reformulates State
power with respect to urban local governance.
The research will take a holistic view of the 'lifeworld of public services'
to understand how neoliberal governance reforms are sites for changing
practices of policymakers, policy professionals, civil society actors, and
citizens.

The project will be 'Action Research' in its methodological stance. Its key
purpose is to engage the various actors engaged in community governance
networks, understand the 'governance-work' they do and seek evaluations from
the governance-workers themselves to improve our contribution in their realm
of work.

Requirements: Candidates should have a recently completed Ph. D. (awarded
within the last 3 years), or other Research Degree such as M.Phil. or a
Master's degree with 2 years of research and writing experience in the
social sciences, other interdisciplinary fields or the humanities with
relevant research and writing interests. Candidates with a Bachelor's degree
and 3-5 years of relevant research experience will be considered in
exceptional circumstances, demonstrated by high quality credentials.
