Berlin

FULL TIME

October 17, 2024

For its interdisciplinary research department Migration, Integration, Transnationalization (MIT), headed by Prof. Ruud Koopmans, the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) is looking for a

Postdoctoral research fellow (f/m/x) (ID 300)

for a full-time appointment (39 hours per week) of two and a half years. The preferred starting date is 01 January 2025. Recruitment is subject to the prior approval of funds.
The WZB Berlin Social Science Center is a publicly financed research institution that conducts cutting edge theory-based and problem-oriented social science research (http://www.wzb.eu/en). WZB researchers come from across the globe and work across social science disciplines including sociology, political science, economics, law, and psychology. A member of the Leibniz Association, WZB’s research is directed at the science community, policy makers, the media and the general public.

The Migration, Integration, Transnationalization department (MIT) of the WZB focuses on issues related to migration, integration, and majority-minority relations, including ethnic and religious conflicts as drivers of migration in source countries. MIT research takes an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing sociology, political science, social psychology, economics, law, and political philosophy.

The current position is situated in the project “Unequal trajectories: Spatial dynamics in refugees‘ multidimensional integration” (Une Tra; WZB lead Jonas Wiedner). Une Tra is a collaborative project by the WZB, the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (Lif Bi), and the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). It examines the role of the residential environment and of residential mobility in the integration of refugees in Germany since 2013. Using innovative analytical approaches, the project investigates what kinds of neighborhoods different refugee groups settle in, and how these neighborhoods shape the integration of adults and the development of children.
