Temporary research contract on the governance of alternative 
communication networks
http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article2271


The Institute of Communication Sciences (CNRS - Paris Sorbonne 
University - UPMC) is recruiting a researcher in sociology or management 
of organizations (at the post-doctoral, PhD or master level with a 
research experience) for a period of 4 to 6 months to conduct research 
on the governance of alternative communications networks, as part of the 
European H2020 project netCommons (http://netcommons.eu/)

The interdisciplinary project netCommons (2016-2018) focuses on the 
study of Internet community networks in Europe managed as commons. 
Within the project, part of the research focuses on the governance of 
these communities, which mostly operate as associative, cooperative or 
non-for-profit entities, and which bring together people with different 
skills to build and manage telecom networks, considered as commons.

In partnership with researchers from the Polytechnic University of 
Catalonia, which also participate in the project, the researcher will 
study the variety of governance tools implemented within these groups 
(statutes, regulations, by-laws, decision making processes, etc.) and 
formulate propositions for improvement to ensure the proper functioning, 
sustainability and expansion of these communities. Through the 
organization of interviews, workshops and meetings, this research-action 
will ultimately lead to monitoring the implementation of these 
recommendations within voluntary groups.

The candidate will either hold a doctorate or be in the process of 
obtaining one, or hold a master degree in sociology and management of 
organizations. A good knowledge of the commons theory and of ICT will be 
appreciated. Very good command of English (written especially) is also 
necessary. Travels within Europe are expected.

The candidate is invited to send to ISCC, before October 23, her/his 
application containing the following documents:
- a resume;
- a cover letter;
- a selection of works (3 max.).

The complete application must be submitted by email to 
felix.treguer at cnrs.fr indicating “Application netCommons” in the message 
title.

Selected candidates will be contacted for an interview which will be 
held on November 3 afternoon in the premises of the ISCC, in Paris, or 
by video conference if necessary.

The contract duration will be 4 to 6 months from February 2017, subject 
to availability and profile of the candidate who must demonstrate an 
address in Paris. The monthly salary will depend on the applicant’s 
level of education and on the remuneration grid of CNRS.
