CfA: PhD grant for research on
Transnational Health Practices in an Enlarged Europe
Given the increasing salience of East-West migration following the last two waves of
European integration, we are currently developing a new research programme on
"Transnational Health Practices in an Enlarged Europe". The project will try to assess
the transnational dimension of the current health seeking practices of Eastern European
immigrants in Ireland. It will highlight practices which lead migrants out of the health
services of the host country and into their transnational families, networks,
communities, as well as the health services of their country of origin.
We are looking for a PhD student willing to conduct doctoral research
under the umbrella of our research programme. We are currently
developing research on Romanian migrants in Ireland and are seeking a
researcher able to engage in the study of one of the other Easter
European migrant groups relevant to Ireland (Polish, Estonian,
Lithuanian, Latvian, etc.).
The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:
- MA in Social Sciences (especially Sociology or Anthropology) or
equivalent
- Knowledge of a relevant Eastern European language (Polish, Estonian,
Lithuanian, Latvian, etc.)
The researcher will be registered as a full-time PhD student at DCU and will conduct
fieldwork in the relevant Eastern European country during the second year of the PhD. The
PhD will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Sabina Stan, Anthropologist and
Lecturer in Sociology at the School of Nursing in DCU.
The successful candidate will receive a grant of 34,000 Euros. The
student will be supported in applying for tuition fees remission, as
well as for additional funding at relevant funding bodies (SoN, DCU,
RIA, IRCHSS, HRB, etc.).
Interested candidates should send a letter of intent, a CV, two
reference letters and a 500 word research proposal to:
Dr. Sabina Stan
School of Nursing
Dublin City University
Dublin 9, Ireland
