Two PhD Candidates in Modern European Migration History
5 months ago
About the job
(NTNU, Trondheim) is offering two PhD positions within the Department of Modern History and Society. These positions are part of the ERC project “InternalFortress: Regulating European Freedom of Movement within the Nation-State, 1950-1980,” which will trace the history of migration as part of the early process of European integration. Each PhD position will focus on one national case study in either France or West Germany, and applicants should specify which case they would like to examine in the research statement.
For a position as a PhD Fellow, the goal is a completed doctoral education and the attainment of a doctoral degree. You will report to the project leader, Madeleine Dungy. You are welcome to contact her at if you have any questions about the project or would like to receive a more detailed description. More information can also be found on the .
Your immediate leader will be the head of department.
Project description
Migrants’ uneven access to social welfare is one of the most pressing concerns in today’s European Union. InternalFortress will uncover the role that this issue played in the early history of regional integration in the European Economic Community (EEC), focusing on social security, union participation, and skill development.
European rules on ‘freedom of movement’ allowed migrant workers from an EEC member state to claim social protection anywhere in the bloc. The PhD case studies will hone-in on one specific national context – either France or West Germany – to trace how these general rules that were set in Brussels were carried out or contested in practice. What steps were taken in national and local institutions to help European migrants gain access to social services on the ground or to block them from doing so? Who participated in that process, for example, state administrators, employers, unions, NGOs, churches, or migrant-led mutual aid organizations? Did these actors differentiate between different groups of European and non-European migrants?
The PhD fellows are encouraged to develop their own approach to these questions, for example by focusing on a particular group of migrants, a locality, an economic sector, or an organization. These in-depth national case studies will complement work by the PI on European and international migration policy and work by the project’s postdoc on Europe’s place in global NGO networks. The team members will work together to build a rich source base that will combine official documents with material from private associations such as Caritas or International Social Service.
At NTNU’s Department of Modern History and Society, the project team will be housed within a rewarding professional environment with an active community of PhD candidates and postdocs.
