About this position
The HEALENAE Doctoral Network, funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, is offering 15 fully funded PhD positions in Anthropology. The network brings together seven leading universities across Africa and Europe, including Aarhus University (Denmark), University of Cape Town (South Africa), University of Edinburgh (UK), KU Leuven (Belgium), Makerere University (Uganda), University of Nairobi (Kenya), and Oslo University (Norway).
These positions focus on the intersections of health and environmental dynamics, with a particular emphasis on contemporary challenges such as climate change, migration, and youth in Africa and Europe. The program is interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral, aiming to develop innovative research at the nexus of anthropology, global health, environmental studies, and regional studies. One of the positions, supervised by Associate Professor Nanna Schneidermann at Aarhus University, specifically addresses youth, climate change migration, and health.
Applicants should have a relevant master's degree in anthropology or a closely related field and a strong interest in interdisciplinary research on health, environment, and migration. The program seeks candidates with research potential and motivation to contribute to cross-continental academic collaboration. The positions are fully funded, covering both stipend and tuition, and are supported by the MSCA Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) under the Horizon Europe programme.
The application window opens on January 5, 2026, and the deadline for submission is March 1, 2026. Recruitment is managed through the primary university hosting each position. Interested candidates are encouraged to review the project descriptions on the HEALENAE website and contact the network or administrative coordinators for further information.
