Sumário

This position aims to develop research activities in the thematic area of migration and education, in particular on social and educational inequalities, language politics and transnational identities, from a sociological approach and with particular emphasis on contributions to public policies. The researcher will be expected to design and carry out research projects and studies, publish and disseminate results and analyses, both nationally and internationally, establish partnerships and institutional collaborations, supervise theses and dissertations and collaborate in teaching activities within the established limits for researchers, in particular in masters’ and PhD programmes or in specialised curricular units of 1st cycle courses. The researcher to be hired should have experience of research and coordination of research projects and studies in sociology in the thematic area of migration and education, especially in the fields of social and educational inequalities, language politics and transnational identities. They should also have experience of articulating research in these areas with public policies and collaborative studies with public institutions. This profile is aligned with the activities carried out within the scope of two of CIES´ research groups – “Migration, Mobility and Ethnicity” and “Education and Science” - and will allow us to sustain lines of research with a strong tradition and background at CIES, but also to strengthen in particular the dimension of the relation between migrations and educational challenges, at the various level of education, and to produce knowledge that contributes to promote the integrations of immigrant populations. It is also related to one of the lines of activity of the Inequality Observatory of CIES, namely the topic of Immigration and School Trajectories. Furthermore, this profile ties in with the Thematic Line “Global Governance” of Iscte SocioDigital Lab for Public Policies, one of whose main objectives is to advance knowledge on determinants of international migration and factors hindering and fostering integration and inclusive citizenship of migrants and refugees. Regarding teaching activity, this profile also contributes to Iscte commitment to 2nd cycle training in the area of social aspects of educations, namely the Master´s Degree in Education and Society, which has been running since 2001. It is expected that the researcher will articulate the research activity with the teaching of content about migration and education in this master´s programme, in one of the seven doctoral programmes managed by CIES or other courses. Iscte is also committed to promoting the integration of students from Portuguese-speaking countries. It is expected that the researcher will articulate the research activity with other activities that contribute to that promotion.
