Betreff: Two PhD positions for NWO Vidi Project 'URBan migration
infrastructures for Irregular Migrant Mobility' (URBIMM)

 

Dear colleague,

 

I am reaching out to you because we are currently looking for two PhD
candidates to join the NWO Vidi Project URBIMM ('URBan migration
infrastructures for Irregular Migrant Mobility'). These two four-year PhD
projects (1,0 FTE) will study how migration infrastructures in European
cities facilitate the mobility of migrants on the move. Selected cities
might include Brussels/Rotterdam (by the PI and the research team), Vienna
or another transit hub in Central Europe (by PhD candidate 1) and
Thessaloniki/Athens or another transit hub in Southern Europe (by PhD
candidate 2). The PhD Candidates will use a variety of methods within a
participatory action research setting, collaborate in a small international
research team, and actively work to share knowledge and make public impact.
The project is embedded in the Team Policy, Politics and Society of the
Department of Public Administration and Sociology at the Erasmus School of
Social and Behavioural Sciences of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Candidates can apply via Academic Transfer until November 5th. We are
specifically looking for candidates who have obtained or will obtain their
MA degree before February 1st  (in sociology, urban studies, migration
studies, geography, or a related field) and who have previous experience
with undocumented migrant communities (via research, work, public
engagement, activism, etc.). 

 

I would be very grateful if you could forward this vacancy to your network.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly (swerts at essb.eur.nl
