PhD Research Fellowship within the LawMode Project

at  Universit du Luxembourg

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.
The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg is looking for a Research fellow (PhD) within the Law Mode Project.

The research fellowship is integrated into the LawMode research project, which is supervised and coordinated by the University of Luxembourg and led by Prof. Dr. Stefan Braum, Professor in European Criminal Law, Criminal Procedures, Criminology and Philosophy of Law at the University of Luxembourg. LawMode is conducted in partnership with the National University of Laos and is funded by the Luxembourgish National Research Fund (FNR) under the LuxAidBridges program which aims to fuel aid and development policies through rigorous research on topics such as the rule of law and good governance.
The overarching topic of the PhD thesis to be conducted under LawMode is “Rule of Law Principles: Which Model for the Global South? - The People’s Democratic Republic of Laos in Transition to a Constitutional State.”
Therefore, in the context of Lao PDR, this research fellowship enables in-depth research into important topics for the country’s development, such as climate protection, poverty eradication, access to justice, law enforcement, and transparency. The research fellow is expected to significantly contribute to improving the quality of the legal system in Lao PDR.
