Are you an enthusiastic scientist with expertise in interdisciplinary research on issues of migrant rights, social inequalities and governance of migration-related diversity in relation to digitalisation? Then you have a part to play as a postdoctoral researcher and engaged scholar at the Centre for Migration Law and our university-wide RUNOMI network that strives for academic excellence and societal impact.
Your research will focus on two manifestations of digitalization and migration that affect migrants' in- and exclusion in receiving countries. First, legal procedures have digitalized, based on online information and communication procedures, such as the European visa applications or online migration court hearings. Second, online tools for social integration and labor market matching have been developed and the European Commission is furthering these to match refugees and migrants to jobs in Europe. These manifestation of digital migration procedures is underexplored and offers opportunities to explain novel realities of in- and exclusion and social justice shaped by digital procedures.
You will collaborate with other researchers in the Radboud University Network on Migrant Inclusion (RUNOMI). RUNOMI was initiated in 2018 to strengthen university-wide, interdisciplinary collaboration in research, teaching and collaboration with societal actors. The network, connects more than 100 member scientists working at all RU faculties with expertise on migrant inclusion issues.
The Radboud University wishes to further develop this network into a leading international hub of expertise in this field in the coming years, which is why it has initiated a large-scale staff recruitment initiative entailing 8 FTEs of assistant professors and 4.5 FTEs of postdoctoral fellows at various faculties. This vacancy forms part of this university-wide initiative, which focuses on the thematic intersection between migrant inclusion and digitalisation, with the two priority areas 'Communication, Information and Social Inequality' and 'Well-being and Health'.
Fixed-term contract: It concerns a temporary employment for 2 years.
You will be employed at the department Sociology of Law and Migration Law (Centre for Migration Law), part of the Research Centre for State and Law (SteR) at the Faculty of Law. You will be expected to contribute to research and teaching at the department as well as to the RUNOMI initiative.
The department Sociology of Law and Migration Law consists of 15 staff. Characteristic elements of the groundbreaking academic research carried out by the department are its international and interdisciplinary approach and its strong empirical component. Moreover, much of the research takes place in collaboration with legal professional practice.
With regard to teaching the department provides and develops English-language and Dutch-language Master's courses in European Migration Law, Dutch Migration Law, International and Comparative Refugee Law, Law and Society and undergraduate courses in Sociology of Law B3 and Sociology of Law in European Perspective.
