Dear Hot Politics Lab followers,

First of all, we would like to thank you for your interests in our Lab in the past year. Christmas is approach and we are taking a break. We will return with a new series of talks on January 27 when Bernd Schlipphak (University of Münster) kicks the new year off. In the mean-time feel free to check out the talks you might have missed in the past period: http://www.hotpolitics.eu/lab-meetings-archive/

Moreover, we would like to raise awareness of a new Hot Politics Lab project that we (Gijs and Bert) are running with colleagues at four other universities. We are looking for a total of 12 PhD students in this Marie Curie Training Network. Three will be embedded directly with us in the Hot Politics Lab. Below you can find more information and we would really appreciate it if you would be willing to share this vacancy to any talented student(s) who might be a good candidate for one of our PhD positions. The deadline for applications is January 30.

For now we wish you a well-deserved Christmas break.

All the best, on behalf of the Hot Politics Lab,

Gijs Schumacher & Bert Bakker
