IMI Vacancy: Research Assistant, THEMIS Project

The International Migration Institute (IMI) is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant to work on a major collaborative research project on Theorizing the Evolution of European Migration Systems (THEMIS) funded by NORFACE – a partnership of fourteen research councils. This programme will work with academic partners in Portugal, the Netherlands and Norway to explore the conditions under which initial moves by pioneer migrants to Europe result in the formation of migration systems. The project will include both the development of theory on the initiation and continuation of migration and also comparative fieldwork following migration from a range of origin countries to European cities.
