We invite applications for a post-doctoral research position in the project Patchwork Parliaments. Post-Imperial Field of Power in The New Republic Of Poland, Greater Romania and The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes after the First World War funded by the Polish National Science Center.

We will seek answers to questions about how different types of elites and regional groupings compete for power with the help of different resources, or capitals. Methodologically, the study builds on (1) parliamentary debates, (2) the political divisions and social contexts of politics, and (3) the biographies of MPs from different regions. The project leader is Wiktor Marzec, PhD. You can read more about the project here.
