The call for a collaboration contract on the European project BRIDGEGAP is now online. Interested candidates must submit their applications by Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM (CEST, UTC+2).

The BRIDGEGAP project aims to bridge knowledge gaps regarding both the extent and the mechanisms by which corruption infiltrates open societies, even across borders. It produces measurements of corruption across countries and time periods through its innovative models, as well as social network maps. It also assesses and offers solutions to digital transparency gaps, ranging from transparency tools to the use and abuse of technology in corruption and the fight against corruption, as well as the current state of corruption. Finally, it assesses public accountability and anti-corruption regulation in the EUMS and candidate countries to identify gaps in legislation and impact, thereby addressing the divide between academia and politics in corruption studies.

The purpose of this comparative selection process is to identify a collaborator to support the design, implementation, and dissemination of the MOOC on corruption.

The contract will start on the first day of the month following the contract award and will run for 24 months.

The call for applications and the application form are available here.

The following documents must be attached to the application for admission to the selection process:

• a curriculum vitae in English;
• a copy of a valid ID;
• a cover letter clearly outlining the candidate’s interest in the activities of the European Research Centre for Anti-Corruption and State-Building – Governance Indicators Lab (ERCAS-GIL) and the BRIDGEGAP project;
• Any evidence of prior experience in the fields of anti-corruption, governance, and academic communication (e.g., publications, project participation, portfolio of activities).

The selection will be based on qualifications and will be carried out by a dedicated Evaluation Committee.
