The Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow with research expertise in transnational migration. Of particular interest to the Department would be a candidate who is able to study transnational migration in its relation to urban spaces and to broader social, economic and political structures and processes. A candidate who studies migration in relation to citizenship would have a further advantage. The successful candidate will be asked to teach no more than three courses per academic year, at least one of which will be related to their research interests, and will be expected to conduct a systematic programme of research culminating in appropriate publications and in activities or events, such as workshops, of benefit to the Department.

The appointment is for two years and is not renewable.
