Nils-Christian Bormann

I am a lecturer in the Department of Politics at the University of Exeter and a HASS Research Fellow associated with the Global Uncertainties theme. Previously, I held a post-doctoral position in the International Conflict Research group at ETH Zurich, where I also earned my PhD in 2014, and my master's degree in Comparative and International Studies (2010).

As a recipient of the Swiss National Science Foundation's DocMobility Grant, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Political Science from January to June 2012 where I studied the effects of post-conflict power-sharing arrangements on domestic conflict diffusion together with Burcu Savun.

My research interests focus on ethnic coalitions and power-sharing, (ethnic) civil wars, group inequality, and spatial methods.
