The deadline for submitting applications is 19 September 2016.

These positions are funded by a prestigious Consolidator Grant recently
awarded to prof. Maarten Vink by the European Research Council (ERC) for
the 5-year project “Migrant Life Course and Legal Status Transition
(MiLifeStatus)”. The objective of this cutting-edge comparative research
project is to investigate the relevance of citizenship within the
individual life course of an immigrant. When does citizenship provide a
boost to migrant integration? The project analyzes why, how and for whom
legal status transition matters and, especially, how variation in policies
between countries impacts on this relation. The research will focus on
naturalization trajectories and integration outcomes in socioeconomic
domains, such as labor market performance, as well as living conditions,
health status, out-migration and education among first and
second-generation immigrants. The project team will analyze longitudinal
data from population registers in the Netherlands and four Scandinavian
countries (3 PhD students, 1 post-doc) and, in addition, longitudinal
survey data from Germany, Canada and the United States (1 post-doc). The
project employs advanced regression techniques and a comparative approach.
