Yerkebulan Sairambay is a self-funded postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Oriental Studies (University of Tartu, Estonia) and assistant professor and senior research fellow at SDU University (Kaskelen, Kazakhstan). Dr Sairambay performed superbly in his PhD studies at the University of Cambridge (2018-2022), passing his oral examination with ‘no revisions’ to the text, a strong signal of the strength of his research and capabilities. He has already developed a strong publication profile, not least in the publication of his book with Lexington Press, in the well-regarded Contemporary Central Asia series edited by Marlene Laruelle from the George Washington University, but also in the publication of 11 peer-reviewed articles in very good, well-respected journals, not least Central Asian Survey. Dr Sairambay received an MSc in Russian, Central and East European Studies from the University of Glasgow and an MA in Political Science from the Corvinus University of Budapest (a joint degree under the IMRCEES Erasmus Mundus programme, 2016-2018). His research interests involve, but are not limited to, the following areas of expertise: political participation, new media, civil society, climate change, clan politics, democratisation, transitional justice, and nation- and state- building with a particular focus on the countries of postcommunist Europe and former Soviet Union. The results of Dr Sairambay’s research have been published in Human Affairs, Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research, Central Asian Survey, Media Asia, Slavonica, Studies of Transition States and Societies, Slovak Journal of Political Sciences, Politics in Central Europe, and Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield).
