The University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS) invites applications for a Post-doc position at the intersection of sociology, law, political studies and nutrition, starting from October 2020.
The advertised position is in the course of a two-year research project funded by the USIAS titled
« Taking the right to healthy food seriously : a European perspective ».
The fellowship project is under the responsibility of Elisabeth Lambert, CNRS Research Professor (http://sage.unistra.fr/membres/chercheurs-cnrs/lambert-elisabeth/) (http://www.usias.fr/en/news- events/news/single-news/article/nouveaux-fellows-usias-2020/). The project ambitions to explore the emergence of an individual/collective right to healthy food as a new component in European human rights law. Researchers will dissect norms, cases and preparatory works of many various legal provisions at domestic and European levels to investigate the conditions as to the making of such a right, the limits and guarantees regarding the implementation step and the legal enforceability. Norms covered will be those which concern the production and consumption stages (human rights, food law, consumers’ protection, advertisement, taxation, labelling, residues of chemical products on food).
With a law making approach, this research will build upon social justice movements and the literature on the emergence of the right to a healthy environment. A qualitative method (lexical analysis and interviews with stakeholders) will complement the traditional desk-research. The project has two objectives: academic research and knowledge transfer into practice/policy-makers.
Job Description :
The post-doc researcher will be in charge of exploring the making of food labelling rules and Smartphone applications for a better access to “healthy food”. This requires to analyse the making of those tools and their limits (which actors, decisions and science are involved, how the making of public labelling on “healthy food” is used/transformed/competed by private actors, and whether we should favor more public actions). The researcher will be responsible for conducting interviews with the relevant stakeholders in European countries and within European institutions. The researcher is expected to communicate and publish in French and English and so must have a good command of both languages. He/she will be part of a small team led by Professor Lambert and will also be in charge of preparing a European scientific event in Spring 2021.
