Another of my posts on academic posts…

Tilburg University in The Netherlands is advertising for a PhD and a postdoc for their new Tilburg Institute of Comparative and Transnational Law.

Edinburgh Research and Innovation is looking for a lawyer.

I also note that there are several advertisements among current and former members of the Commonwealth, including Australia, Hong Kong, and the West Indies.

And of more relevance to twitchgamer readers, is the interestingly PhD position at Twente in The Netherlands: PhD Position: Smart Legal Regimes for Smart Infrastructures. The research is described as:

Enhancing performance and possible (new) uses of existing and new information infrastructures, is often hampered by legal constraints introduced to protect certain public values (such as safety or legal certainty), which are shaped and attuned to existing infrastructural services or modus operandi. The smart legal regimes for smart technological infrastructures project focuses on the possibilities to develop smart – adaptive, facilitative and resilient – legal regimes that are more suitable for and indeed (more) conducive to speedy and sustainable infrastructural innovations, especially by improving possibilities for multi-actor and multi-level cooperation.

Makes me think of Cory Doctorow’s vision of how legal disputes are handled in Eastern Standard Tribe.
