PhD Candidate Rudra Guha Biswas will join Panmure House at Heriot-Watt University as Postdoctoral Associate

PhD Candidate, Rudra Guha Biswas, will join Panmure House at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh as Post Doctoral Research Associate in Spring 2027. Panmure House is Adam Smith's former home in Edinburgh's Old Town, which Heriot-Watt University runs as a center for economic & social research. 

He will join the project, Markets Under Siege: How Geoeconomic Competition Undermines Free Markets, funded by the John Templeton Foundation and led by Prof. Adam Dixon (Adam Smith Chair). He will examine how liberal democracies justify departures from market principles by tracing the rhetorical strategies and institutional mechanisms involved, including national security expansionism, economic security, strategic autonomy, resilience and dual-use doctrine. 

Join us in congratulating Rudra on this achievement!
