Extended deadline for Research Fellowship: Integration and international migration

The Center for Policy Studies at Central European University is pleased to announce an early-career research fellowship focusing on the study of integration and international migration, in the framework of the larger INTEGRIM Marie Curie Network, with a focus on the thematic area of Citizenship and Political Participation.

In this area, the Center for Policy Studies is interested in research topics concerning:

1. forms of transnational political participation and transnational citizenship;

2. recent institutional and discursive shifts in regulating the participation of migrants in local and national political actions in European host societies;

3. crosscutting solidarities and competitions in mobilizing migrants and issues of intersectionality;

4. diversities across Europe in building migrant and host society solidarity structures;

5. art for and in political mobilization addressing inequalities, hierarchies, and injustices related to migration belonging;

6. theoretical questions that connect the study of migrants and the European Roma including the settled and the indigenous. The host CEU’s resources can best support research projects that examine intra-European migration.

Target group: Ideally we are looking to receive applications from PhD candidates who are already in more advanced stages of their doctoral research in their home universities, and whose research topic is related to the focus of the INTEGRIM 'citizenship and political participation' Work Package. The project offers full-time employment and funding for 2 years.

Eligibility requirements: Applicants should have an MA or equivalent in a social sciences discipline and should be enrolled in the second or third year of the PhD program in their home university. Applicants should have no more than 4 years of full-time research experience since obtaining the degree that entitles them to pursue doctoral studies in the country in which the degree was received. Eligible candidates can be of any nationality but they can only apply if they have not been domiciled in Hungary for more than 12 months in the previous three years prior to appointment (short vacation stays do not count).

Detailed information on eligibility requirements and application procedures is included in the call for applications document.

EXTENDED application deadline: April 11, 2014 (2 p.m. Brussels time)
