Migration and Human Rights Researcher, Danish Institute for Human Rights, Denmark Deadline: 17 November 2025.
Migration and human rights is a rapidly developing field in both research and practice. The Danish Institute for Human Rights is now recruiting a researcher who can contribute to strengthening their profile and activities in this field, in academic research as well as in international programmes and projects.
They are particularly interested in a researcher with strong legal expertise in the protection of asylum-seekers’ and migrants’ rights; the impact of migration on civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights; a rights-based approach to migration governance including border control and monitoring mechanisms; EU and Danish regulation and policy in this area, including in relation to transfer and outsourcing of asylum-seekers, etc. to third States; and in the evolving jurisprudence from courts and UN and other supranational human rights mechanisms and procedures, including UNHCR policies and practice. Knowledge about countering of migrant smuggling and trafficking would also be relevant.
