Your Role...

The Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg is looking for a PhD candidate to conduct research in Private International Law.

The doctoral researcher will be working under the supervision of Professor Gilles Cuniberti. The doctoral researcher's main task will be to prepare a doctoral thesis in the field of private international law or international commercial law. The thesis work will be undertaken at the University of Luxembourg but can also be jointly-supervised with another university. The doctoral candidate will contribute to the teaching of classes ranging from one to three hours per week, of small group teachings and tutorials.

The topic of the PhD can be a traditional doctrinal topic addressing novel issues of choice of law, jurisdiction or foreign judgments. Professor Cuniberti is also interested in supervising a thesis at the crossroad of law and economics or psychology, on topics related to jurisdictional/regulatory competition and negotiation of international contracts.

  • A Master's Degree in private international law, international commercial law or international commercial arbitration; a background in economics or psychology would be important for pursuing research on a pluridisciplinary topic
