📣 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%).

Very happy that ERC is funding my 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.

📣 Vacancy for PhD position! 📣 I am looking for a qualitative PhD researcher (3 years, 30 hours/week) to join my ERC project #RESTATE (Refugees’ Political Participation and State-(Re)Making in Displacement), starting preferably on 1 January 2026.

Thinking of all my Syrian friends and people I have spoken to in the past 13 years and what today means for them and their vision for their and Syria’s future.

And to finally come back to the discussion and decision below: the experiences you all shared with me helped me enormously to decide not to do the ERC interview briefly after giving birth. I thought I could only lose points if I did.

I applied for an ERC this year & am pregnant with my second child. If I make it to the second round, the interview is supposed to take place in the same week as my due date. ERC 'generously' offers to either decide without an interview or to change the date within the same week🧵

We're delighted for @LeaMullerFunk, who has been awarded the ERC Starting Grant for her project RESTATE. She will investigate how refugees perceive the state and state violence before, during and after their flight and how these experiences influence their political participation
