JOB : PhD position in Economics, specializing in Economics of international migration, LEM, University of Lille – Deadline : 6th May 2022

The LEM (UMR 9221), a research unit of the Univer­sity of Lille, invites appli­ca­tions for a 3-years, fully funded Phd posi­tion in Econo­mics, with the emphasis on the Econo­mics of inter­na­tional migra­tion, star­ting in September 2022.

Research : The PhD student will write a PhD thesis on « From School-to-Work : How the local context and economic restruc­tu­ring affect the inter­ge­ne­ra­tional trans­mis­sion of human capital among immi­grants ». The successful candi­date will apply modern micro-econo­me­tric methods. The main objec­tive will be to discuss the chan­nels turning the educa­tional mobi­lity of the descen­dants of immi­grants into profes­sional mobi­lity as well as the quality determinants of this transfer. Special atten­tion will be paid to the analysis of the local context and the economic restruc­tu­ring of the market e.g. in terms of job pola­ri­za­tion at both ends of the quali­fi­ca­tion scale. The project will also adopt a specific gender pers­pec­tive related to the analysis of the job expan­sion patterns. The candi­date will imple­ment a compa­ra­tive analysis at regional but also inter­na­tional levels able to help iden­tify the levers to improve the dyna­mics of this mobility.
