Alfavita Newsroom The UNU Institute on Globalization, Culture and Mobility (UNU-GCM) invites applications for up to Six (6) doctoral research fellowships at its office in Barcelona between May 2nd 2018 and July 31st2018.
UNU-GCM offers talented young scholars who are currently enrolled in PhD studies or have recently completed a PhD programme in the past two years (from 2016 onwards ONLY) the opportunity to conduct policy-relevant research around three main interdisciplinary axes:
Migration and cities;
Migration, social inclusion and peaceful societies;
Migration, work and technology;
While we welcome interesting and rigorous proposals that fall within the above three areas, the following is an indicative list of topics that would be of interest:
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) analyzed through the lens of human mobility: action-oriented research within the global development agenda;
Rethinking narratives on human mobility: the role of aesthetics, visual and other media and/or cultural practices and artwork in promoting positive representations and rights.
Gender and mobility: how can we rethink gender in terms of mobility and reframe its constructions taking into account the contingencies of time, place and transit?
Connections of the global and the local: analyzing strategies of solidarity, citizenship and the practice of rights to ensure social and political inclusion.
Repositioning public engagement with human mobility: analyzing the roles of mainstream and/or social media in fostering awareness of human mobility and opening pathways for communication and connections.
Within the above areas, applicants with expertise from across the Social Sciences and Humanities are welcome to apply, as well as those working on socially relevant issues such as Healthcare, Education, etc. Our aim is to ensure interdisciplinary dialogue and strong engagement from diverse angles on shared conceptual and policy-relevant topics relating to human mobility. Our preferred methodology of research is qualitative. Fellows will be recruited through a competitive application process.
The aim of the fellowship programme is to provide a dynamic, challenging and rewarding experience for those young scholars who wish to understand how theories, concepts and analyses of human mobility can feed usefully into policy-making processes. The programme provides opportunities for the development of new skills and knowledge, and is a unique and constructive setting for the application of conceptual and analytic capacities acquired through graduate studies.
The programme places a strong emphasis on the training, guidance, and hands-on experience that form the basis of a beneficial fellowship. Fellows will be closely mentored by the research team at UNU-GCM and will also gain key administrative experience that is related to research. Fellows can expect to gain valuable knowledge and practical experience that will be beneficial to future careers, while contributing in meaningful ways to the mission of UNU-GCM.
