PhD Researcher in Legal Philosophy of Migration

7 dagen geleden


Nijmegen, Gelderland, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

Position Overview: We are seeking a dedicated PhD researcher in the field of Philosophy of Law, specifically focusing on the philosophical underpinnings of international migration law. This role involves developing a comprehensive research proposal and conducting a doctoral thesis over a designated period.

Research Focus: The complexities of migration raise essential questions regarding the core tenets of liberal democracy. The rights that states confer and safeguard are often exclusive to their citizens, while fundamental rights, such as human rights, are universally acknowledged. This duality creates a tension between state sovereignty and human rights, as articulated by thinkers like Hannah Arendt, who highlighted the 'paradox' of human rights within the context of nation-states.

Critical Examination: Contemporary legal philosophy frequently addresses migration from a normative standpoint, typically reflecting the perspective of the 'receiving' state or political entity. This approach risks perpetuating existing legal and policy frameworks without critically assessing their foundational assumptions.

Research Opportunities: As a PhD candidate, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Investigate the underlying conceptions of human existence and communal living in relation to territoriality as reflected in the current international migration framework.
  • Analyze the interrelations between state sovereignty, popular sovereignty, and territorial sovereignty concerning human rights.
  • Examine how prevailing conceptual distinctions—such as those between 'native' citizens and migrants, or voluntary versus involuntary migration—are constructed and their implications.
  • Explore the influence of national identity and the nation-state concept on migration regulation within liberal democracies.

Research Scope: You are encouraged to broaden your research beyond contemporary legal philosophy, incorporating insights from historical figures who have engaged with these themes across various legal and political contexts. This may include perspectives from Western legal philosophy, spanning from antiquity to modern times, as well as insights from non-Western and decolonial viewpoints.
