We are inviting proposals for a PhD project that explores the intricate domain of private law remedies within data law, examining how different legal frameworks can ensure robust protection. What private law remedies are available within the current legal frameworks in case of data protection breaches, and what type of legal framework might help to ensure effective remedies?
While Article 82 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) opens the door to private remedies in the data economy, there is still a critical gap in both scholarship and case law as to how private enforcement can contribute to safeguarding data protection rights. The project aims to answer the question of how the private law remedies, or the legal framework shaping such remedies, should be rethought to ensure effective remedies for individuals faced with data protection breaches, considering the broader societal implication of structural abuse of data-processing, in light of the societal and structural dimension of online harms.
Some of the questions that applicants could consider in their research projects are the following:
Applicants are welcome to propose a topic within the scope of these themes. This can be done by adopting a private law perspective and extending the analysis to more specific fields of law, such as consumer law, anti-discrimination law, competition law, and intellectual property law. Projects with a comparative focus, both inside and outside the EU, as well as projects with a strong theoretical approach, are strongly encouraged. Interdisciplinary approaches are also welcomed, as are projects based on diverse methodologies.
We offer an employment contract for four years with a probationary period of one year, preferably starting on 1 February 2025.
Your salary, depending on your relevant experience on commencement of the employment contract, ranges between € 2.872 to € 3.670 gross per month on the basis of a full working week of 38 hours. This sum does not include the 8% holiday allowance and the 8.3% year-end allowance. The Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU) is applicable.
The University of Amsterdam is the largest university in the Netherlands, with the broadest spectrum of degree programmes. It is an intellectual hub with 39,000 students, 6,000 employees, and 3,000 doctoral students who are all committed to a culture of inquiring minds.
As a doctoral researcher, you will join the Amsterdam Centre for Transformative Private Law (ACT) at the Private Law Department. ACT is a leading international research centre on private law, offering high-quality contributions to research and education on the role of private law in constituting and changing societies. We understand private law in a broad sense, encompassing both traditional areas (including contract, tort, property, family, and company law) and relative newcomers in the field (such as consumer law, labour law, insolvency law, and financial law). In our research and teaching, we make use of a variety of methods to understand the various dimensions of private law.
Not only do members of ACT have diverse and dynamic interests, but ACT has a close working relationship with other research centres at the UvA: Amsterdam Center for Law and Economics, Amsterdam Centre for International Law, Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance, and Sustainably Global Economic Law.
