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 asses 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
