Call for Applications: for full-time PhD Researcher in Law (UCLouvain) and Political Science (ULB) in Inter-Disciplinary Research on Migration

About the doctoral position
The doctoral researcher will examine how non-binding international agreements exist, focusing on how different actors are involved in migration diplomacy and for what reasons.

The doctoral candidate will conduct empirical work, mainly through semi-structured élite interviews and document interpretation.
Application process
The deadline for the application is 15 July 2025 at the latest. Your application must be sent to [email protected]
