Dear friends and colleagues,
I am currently seeking to fill four full-time, four-year, fully-funded PhD fellowships as part of the ERC-funded research project “Property and Democratic Citizenship” (ERC-CoG-2017 PaDC-771795) based at the department of Conflict and Development Studies, Ghent University, Belgium. The research project is an ethnographic exploration of property relations within contemporary democratic contexts through an analysis of citizen (and non-citizen) experiences of eviction. Specifically, the project looks at how conflicts around specific properties bring together moral discourses, policy regulations and market mechanisms to create, transform and reinforce specific aspects of real landed property (used for housing) and what the consequences are of these “property regimes” on people’s lived experiences of citizenship.
This is an ethnographic project based on participant-observation methods and PhD candidates will spend at least one year of the four-year PhD trajectory working directly with people involved in conflicts over eviction/property.
I am looking for PhDs who are interested in working in one of the following countries: Spain, Greece, the UK or the Netherlands.
Languge skills required are fluency in English plus the language spoken in the context of choice. A proven track record of commitment to this topic (e.g. volunteer work for groups tackling issues of housing) is a plus.
Please follow this link for a full description of the person specifications (and to apply): https://www.ugent.be/en/work/vacancies/scientific/phd-student-iy1ac
Feel free to write me directly with queries at: [email protected]
Best,
Marianne
