Research assistant and PhD student position available at the Department of Migration and Globalisation (Krems, Austria)

The Department of Migration and Globalisation (Krems, Austria) is looking for two Early Career Researchers for Prof. Heidrun Bohnet's ERC project “MixedRivals”, Mixed (ar)Rivals: Unravelling inter-migrant group relations. 

The main objective of the MixedRivals project is to unravel inter-migrant group relations and to answer when they may turn rival and violent or rather solidary. The aim is to understand and examine the following three main research questions:

  • When and how do different (forced) migrant groups become potential rivals?
  • What factors increase or decrease the risk of rivalries between (forced) migrant groups?
  • When do rivalries turn violent?
