Postdoctoral Fellowship in Migration Economics

Дедлайн: 30.06.2018

Приложение

IRES (Institut de Recherches Economiques et Sociales) and DEMO (Centre de recherche en Demographie) of the Universite catholique de Louvain invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Migration Economics starting in September 2018 and ending in August 2020 or 2021.

Job Description
IRES and DEMO obtained financing to conduct research on “Globalization, International Migration and Income Inequality”. In September 2018, a new ARC project on “New approaches to understanding and modelling global migration trends” (GLOBMIG), and a new EOS project on “Winners and Losers from Globalization and Market Integration: Insights from Micro-Data” will start. The objectives of these projects are to gain understanding of the long-run root drivers of international migration, to produce integrated projections of migration, population, and global inequality, and to use the knowledge base to assess the effectiveness and policy coherence of the legal framework. Research should go beyond the state of the art in combining traditional and new sources of data (e.g., Big Data on cell-phone owners’ mobility, worldwide opinion surveys on migration intentions, geo-referenced data on population changes, comparative data on immigration laws and policies), in developing new methodologies for processing and analyzing them, and in modelling the complex interactions between international migration, internal migration, and the socio-demographic, climatic, legal and economic environments. The candidate will be expected to contribute to some of these projects, to work in close collaboration with Prof. Philippe Bocquier (Demography) and Prof. Frederic Docquier (Economics) as well as with their partners in Law and Computer Science, and to interact with local PhD students in the same field of interests. The candidate should have conducted promising theoretical or empirical doctoral research and be interested in migration economics or demography.

General conditions
Candidates should normally have successfully defended their PhD thesis in Economics or in Demography before starting the fellowship. They must have a proven record of high quality research on migration-related issues. In addition, should not have stayed more than 12 months in Belgium during the last three years. The starting date of the fellowship mentioned above can be somewhat postponed. Appointments are research positions for two years, with a possibility to extend for a third year. Net salary is of the order of 2400 euros per month. Members of the EU are covered by the Belgian social insurance scheme. Non-members are only insured for health care and can receive child benefit. The candidate will share her/his time between IRES and DEMO. More information about IRES and DEMO can be found at IRES or DEMO. These centres will provide her/him with office space, computer facilities, assistance in finding suitable accommodation, etc. Candidates who will defend their PhD thesis after the beginning of 2018 can be considered as well. The net salary will be smaller as long as the PhD is not completed.

Applications
Should be sent to Frederic Docquier (frederic.docquier@uclouvain.be), Philippe Bocquier (philippe.bocquier@uclouvain.be), and Severine Dinjar (severine.dinjar@uclouvain.be) not later than June 30, 2018.

• your name,
  
• your current affiliation (university, research center, etc.),
  
• your main fields of research in a number of keywords,
  
• two names and addresses (including e-mail) of persons who can be contacted for reference on the candidate,

The Centre for Fertility and Health was established in 2017 at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health as a Centre of Excellence granted from the Norwegian Research Council. The Centre will study health implications of changes in family constellations, such as parental age, number of children and new family structures and the use of artificial reproductive technologies. These topics are analysed from both the child and adult perspectives. The Centre collaborates nationally and internationally with researchers representing a wide span of scientific disciplines including in medicine, genetics, epidemiology, psychology, statistics, economics, demography and other social sciences.

The Centre for Fertility and Health is strongly committed to the education and engagement of young researchers and has established the Gro Harlem Brundtland Visiting Scholarship. This visiting scholar program hosts young researchers from Norway and abroad to engage in collaborative research and to participate in and enrich the research community at the Centre and at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. We are currently accepting applications for this visiting scholar program.

Applicants should hold or be qualified to hold university posts or similar; however, we welcome applicants from other areas, including intergovernmental and non-profit organizations. Visiting scholars should hold a PhD or equivalent. Applications are evaluated according to the fit between the Centres research themes and the applicants’ background, research record, and their proposed plans for their stay at the Centre. Visiting scholars are expected to be in residence during their term, the duration of which should be around 3 months (at least 2, at most 6 months). Each scholar is expected to give presentations during their term on their research and to showcase the results of his or her stay at the Centre.

In addition to work space, computer, and library access, visiting scholars enjoy a salary that matches their level of qualification and access to meeting and workshops organized at the Centre. Each scholar is responsible for securing his or her own visa, if required; however, we can provide administrative assistance with the process. We also provide assistance with finding housing and other formalities connected to relocation for the purpose of this scholarship

Candidate visiting scholars should submit the following:

• CV, including publication list
• A two-page personal statement including:
  • a description of the project that you intend to work on during your stay
  • the expected outcome of your scholarship stay at the Centre
  • the Centre team member(s) with whom you want to work and how your proposal connects to their expertise. The Centre encourages cross-cutting projects and applicants should specify how their interests intersect with the range of expertise at the Centre.
  • the expected contribution to the Centre
  • proposed start and end dates
• Names and contact information for two professional references, one of whom can be a Centre team member

Application deadline: August 15, 2018
