📣 Postdoc vacancy! I am looking for a qualitative postdoc (3 years, 100%) to join my ERC project #RESTATE (Refugees’ Political Participation and State-(Re)Making in Displacement, 85%) and my project #SYREALITY (Syrian Imaginations of Europe meet Reality, 15%) starting preferably on 1 January 2026.

Lea Müller-Funk @leamullerfunk.bsky.social · Feb 12

I am very much looking forward to starting my ERC project RESTATE about how refugees perceive and engage with the state throughout their displacement journeys, and how these perceptions shape their roles as political actors in September 2025. I am going to hire 2 postdocs and 1 PhD later this year!

Department for Migration and Globalisation @demigkrems.bsky.social · Sep 5

We're delighted for Lea Müller-Funk, who has been awarded the ERC Starting Grant. In her project, she investigates how refugees perceive the state and state violence before, during and after their flight and how these experiences influence their political participation. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

Personally, GROW means that I will have a smooth transition after 🌐 #Mapineq and that I can relax during my upcoming parental leave👨🏽‍🍼😀.

Mijail Figueroa González @mijailfigo.bsky.social · Mar 11

🚀 This journey began in the summer of 2021, brainstorming ideas and participating in multiple informative sessions. By summer 2022, I drafted my first unsuccessful proposal 😭. A year later, I reworked it, leading to success. Thank you to all who directly or indirectly supported me 🙏🏽.

🌱 GROW focuses on who gains and risks when #WorkingWhileStudying at university, and under which conditions. GROW aims at providing a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the implications of #StudentEmployment on student’s life courses. 📚

A lot is happening in Europe related to social science data, especially related to admin data + matching that with more trad. datasets. Many issues remain and successful examples are not numerous.

But for anyone who wants to learn more, this is an event for you!

A bit under three years left, let’s see what will be recommended. At the moment no one (funder or host institutes) seems to have a proper idea what do with these mega-funded things afterwards.

If you ask me, we will just continue do the same but even more, the big question is in what format

INVEST Research Flagship Centre @invest-flagship.bsky.social · Feb 5

Research Flagship Centre INVEST is commissioning an international external assessment as the first Finnish Flagship. “Our aim is to continue to be a research ecosystem after the end of the current funding period,” says @janierola.net, Director of INVEST.
