The EuroMedMig Marie-Curie PhD Network has announced an open call for 12 fully-funded PhD positions for the 2025 academic year, creating a unique opportunity for researchers in the field of migration and refugees. With a deadline of 28th February 2025, the network aims to attract exceptional candidates passionate about addressing global challenges in the Mediterranean region through innovative research.
Under the umbrella of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions of the European Union, the EuroMedMig Marie-Curie PhD Network is a prestigious program designed to cultivate research excellence in migration and refugee studies. By fostering a community of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), the initiative aims to advance cutting-edge research on migration, refugees, and their socio-political, economic, and cultural ramifications.
Emphasizing diversity and inclusivity, the network connects researchers from different parts of the Mediterranean region to provide varied perspectives essential for comprehending the complexities of migration. By promoting intercultural values, EuroMedMig aims to create an inclusive research environment that steers clear of generalizations and knowledge-centrism.
The primary objective of this PhD network is to mentor young researchers to become leaders in migration studies, equipping them with the necessary skills and opportunities to make significant contributions to the field. The call for applications invites candidates to explore a range of interdisciplinary research topics related to migration, including governance, cultural transformations, economic impacts, and migration drivers.
The research themes encourage innovative proposals that delve into governance, policies, and politics affecting migration patterns, taxonomies of migration drivers, social and cultural transformations due to migration, and the economic impact of migration on labor markets. This diversity allows candidates to tailor their research projects to their interests and expertise.
Successful candidates selected for the program will receive full-time contracts for three years with comprehensive social security coverage. The remuneration aligns with the European Commission’s guidelines for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellowships, ensuring a competitive salary during the PhD studies. Beyond financial support, participants will benefit from a dynamic research environment, international collaborations, and professional development opportunities.
Eligibility criteria mandate that applicants be Early-Stage Researchers with less than four years of full-time research experience, holding a master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field. Additionally, candidates must adhere to mobility rules set by the Marie-Curie regulations regarding residency in the host country.
To apply, candidates must select a suitable position from the 12 open PhD opportunities, prepare a research proposal aligned with their interests, and submit the necessary documents online before the application deadline. The network will review applications and shortlist candidates for interviews, offering them a chance to contribute meaningfully to migration studies.
By joining the EuroMedMig Marie-Curie PhD Network, researchers can enhance their academic career prospects by engaging in interdisciplinary collaboration, gaining a global perspective on migration issues, and benefiting from mentorship and professional training. The program kick-starts in September 2025, providing a platform for researchers to make significant strides in the field of migration studies.
