[Leora Lawton]

Dear colleagues,

Please bring the following job opening advert to the attention of recent
PhD graduates who might be suitable. Please direct all questions to
Marco.giugni at unige.ch





Position: Post-doctoral researcher in the Institute of Citizenship Studies
(InCite)

Project: “Is the Integration of Muslim Migrants More Difficult? Unpacking
the Differences of the Social, Economic, Civic and Political Integration of
Muslim and Non-Muslim Migrants in Switzerland in Comparative Perspective.”



Summary: The position is part-time at 75% for 24 months, renewable once
again at 70% for the following 24 months with a trial period of 3 months,
at salary class 14 (at a maximum), starting on 1st May 2018 or as soon as
possible thereafter.

This project examines the patterns of economic, social, civic and political
integration of Muslim migrants and asks whether, indeed, they are different
to those of non-Muslim migrants. The project will critically address the
conceptualizations and operationalizations of ‘Muslimness’ and of
‘integration’ to overcome the theoretical and conceptual limitations in
prior existing research on this topic. In the context of COST Action 16111
ETHMIGSURVEYDATA (http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA16111?
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cost.eu_COST-5FActions_ca_CA16111-3F&d=DwMFaQ&c=mRWFL96tuqj9V0Jjj4h40ddo0XsmttALwKjAEOCyUjY&r=JqexFlgr0WjSBlHLBndw127TI-CU2LZ8SMCvkMpIbQCg3fJWK3hdwRWV2se5kzgi&m=fQfJfOeIAejvR8mpVbAR0QtbXKsJJg8AseYRZk8wOCI&s=nJ0E4vqBBQ6HR5hyCrMkdaR0c7vUZgzsZ--PD7oYJyE&e=>),
it will locate, compile, make available, post-harmonize and pool the
quantitative survey data available in Switzerland and Europe that include
samples of Muslim and non-Muslim migrants. The project will heavily rely on
Propensity Score Matching and equivalent methods in order to address the
methodological shortcomings of prior research that does not disentangle the
effect of being of Muslim faith from that of other confounders linked to
the migration process of Muslim migrants who live in Europe. This project
will offer highly novel datasets and findings that will contribute to
scientific progress in this area and that will be able to inform public and
policy debates on the challenges of integrating migrants into European
societies.

The appointed post-doctoral researcher will work within a research team
formed by Prof. Marco Giugni, Dr Mélanie Kolbe and Prof. Laura Morales. The
person hired for this position will take on a key role in the project, and
will undertake the data compilation, post-harmonization, pooling and
analysis of various quantitative surveys on Muslim and non-Muslim migrants
available in Switzerland under the scientific direction of the main
applicant and the two collaborators. Additionally, the person hired for
this position will be fully integrated into the COST Action
ETHMIGSURVEYDATA.

   - Ph.D. in political science or sociology or in a related discipline.
   - Advanced skills in survey data management and analysis with an ability
