Classifying and Understanding Remedies in Comparative Labour Law (CURE) is a 5-year comparative project, originally funded by the ERC and guaranteed by UKRI, based at the Department of Law, University of Manchester. The project aims to set a new intellectual agenda and direction in comparative labour law by examining the concept and function of remedial rules and institutions. The 5-year project adopts a multi-dimensional, comparative and multi-method research design to evaluate how the juridical concept of remedies has evolved across different dimensions of the employment relationship in a set of different national systems (i.e. France, Greece, Poland, Sweden and the UK). Data collection and analysis will include legal doctrinal and empirical (i.e. legal computational and qualitative) methods.

This PhD studentship will focus on the UK case study, including identifying, collecting and analysing relevant legal and empirical data on the concept and function of remedial rules and institutions in British labour law. The PhD student will be supervised by myself and Dr Elaine Dewhurst and will collaborate closely with other members of the project team as well.

The deadline for the submission of applications is the 26th of July 2024.
