Research Fellow/PhD Student: Migration as Morality Politics, Danube University Krems, Austria. Deadline: 31 August 2023.
The advertised position is part of the FWF project “Migration as Morality Politics” coordinated by Prof. Julia Mourão Permoser. This project investigates the contentious politics of sanctuary in Europe and the United States. Sanctuary refers to practices by local governments and civil society organizations that aim to provide unauthorized migrants with a safe space where they can be shielded from immigration law enforcement. The project investigates three types of sanctuary: sanctuary cities, sanctuary churches (or other places of worship), and sanctuaries created along or near international borders by NGOs that seek to protect those who are trying to cross the border.
They are looking for a PhD candidate interested in conducting a PhD project that relates to the topic of the project. In particular, they welcome applications by researchers interested in conducting a study of sanctuary in the United States, and comparing it to the existing findings of the project about sanctuary in Europe.
