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@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.
