📣 Postdoc vacancy! I am looking for a qualitative postdoc (3 years, 100%) to join my ERC project #RESTATE (Refugees’ Political Participation and State-(Re)Making in Displacement, 85%) and my project #SYREALITY (Syrian Imaginations of Europe meet Reality, 15%) starting preferably on 1 January 2026.
I am very much looking forward to starting my ERC project RESTATE about how refugees perceive and engage with the state throughout their displacement journeys, and how these perceptions shape their roles as political actors in September 2025. I am going to hire 2 postdocs and 1 PhD later this year!
We're delighted for Lea Müller-Funk, who has been awarded the ERC Starting Grant. In her project, she investigates how refugees perceive the state and state violence before, during and after their flight and how these experiences influence their political participation. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...
