📣 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/...

Looks like a great event for those interested in cross-national and international work! For our US followers, 15.02.2024 is February 15... there are not 15 months in the European calendar 🤓.
A lot is happening in Europe related to social science data, especially related to admin data + matching that with more trad. datasets. Many issues remain and successful examples are not numerous.

But for anyone who wants to learn more, this is an event for you!

A bit under three years left, let’s see what will be recommended. At the moment no one (funder or host institutes) seems to have a proper idea what do with these mega-funded things afterwards.

If you ask me, we will just continue do the same but even more, the big question is in what format
Research Flagship Centre INVEST is commissioning an international external assessment as the first Finnish Flagship. “Our aim is to continue to be a research ecosystem after the end of the current funding period,” says @janierola.net, Director of INVEST.
