Jan Eijking
I’m a William Golding Junior Research Fellow at Brasenose College. As postdoctoral Research Associate at the DPIR and Oxford Martin Fellow I work on the Changing Global Orders programme at the Oxford Martin School. I recently completed a DPhil in International Relations at Balliol College and have held teaching positions at Utrecht University (2022-23) and at Pembroke College, University of Oxford (2021-22).
My main interest is in the history of international organisations and international thought, with a focus on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. My doctoral thesis examined how technical experts became central to the design and contestation of modern international organisations. At the Changing Global Orders programme I work on how early international organisations have mobilised expertise to address health, economic, and food crises.
My research, which has been funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council and the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), has won the ISA Barbara W. Tuchman Prize (2023), the ISA Prize for Best Graduate Paper in IR Theory (2023), the ISA-Northeast Fred Hartmann Award (2022), and the EISA Best Graduate Paper Award (2021).
I have also written for public outlets including Responsible Statecraft and The Conversation. I’m an Associate Member of the Centre for Global Knowledge Studies and affiliated with the Security History Network at Utrecht University. Previously I convened the Seminar in the History of International Politics (SHIP) at the University of Oxford.
