Phd Young Migrant Men’s Contested Care Work and
3 weken geleden
**Your job**:
Today’s increasingly diverse and complex cities produce new and dynamic ways of relating to one another. Globalisation, migration and societal change on the one hand produce contested understandings of caring for each other. On the other, opportunities arise to (re)define caring in relation to changing economic conditions, social meanings and cultural norms. In many capitalist societies, however, existing unjust social structures and conditions continue to reinforce uneven geographies of care. Rather than a focus on how economically competitive cities are, this project explores the ‘caring city’ by investigating how cities ‘work’ and are understood as places that intersect with interpersonal caring, care relations and care work.
The tasks of the PhD student will include the following:
- designing and carrying out qualitative and participatory research activities in collaboration with societal partners based in Rotterdam. Possible methods include - but are not limited to - ethnographic observation, in-depth/walk-along interviews and photovoice methods in the city of Rotterdam;
- reporting on research findings in the form of international peer reviewed articles and policy reports, as well as through creative forms of dissemination suitable for the target group and social actors (e.g., podcast, blog, zine-making, photo exhibition);
- co-organising public engagement activities (e.g., one or more expert meetings with a variety of stakeholders to reflect on the project’s findings and recommendations for policy, one or more public events for lay audiences to facilitate discussion).
Your supervisory team will consist of;
- Dr Rik Huizinga, Assistant Professor in Urban Geography, Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Daily supervisor and co-promotor;
- Dr Dora Sampaio, Assistant Professor in International Development Studies, Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Daily supervisor and co-promotor;
- Dr Ilse van Liempt, Associate Professor in Urban Geography, Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Promotor iit.
**Your qualities**:
- a Master’s degree in Human Geography, Gender Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Development Studies or other related fields with a clear affinity for geographical and/or planning research;
- strong familiarity with debates around inclusive and caring cities, gender relations and equality and/or transnational migration;
- an excellent academic track record and demonstrated experience in the use of qualitative, participatory and ethnographic research methods;
- a near-native level of Dutch and excellent academic writing skills in English;
- the ability to work with a range of stakeholders and conduct independent field research;
- versatile communication and organisational skills to effectively interact with the different actors and stakeholders involved;
- an interest to write academic publications and produce other creative dissemination materials for the broader public.
**Our offer**:
We offer:
- a position for one year, with an extension to a total of four years upon a successful assessment in the first year, and with the specific intent that it results in a doctorate within this period;
- a working week of 36 hours and a gross monthly salary between € 2,770 and € 3,539 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU);
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth.
