About this position
The Research Unit of the University of the Aegean is recruiting a PhD holder researcher for the Horizon Europe project DICES: Social Economy, Inclusive Care, Economic Democracy, based in the Department of Geography in Mytilene. The project examines how social economy organisations can help address inequality and social exclusion across Europe, and how their development varies across places and institutional settings.
The selected researcher will join the Labour Geography Research Laboratory, a research environment focused on labour, skills and employment in territorial context, as well as data-driven tools and research infrastructures for labour-market analysis and regional resilience. Within this setting, the position combines social economy research with questions of inclusion, labour precarity, housing, gender, care and place-based inequalities.
The post is embedded in an international consortium and includes both conceptual and empirical contributions. The researcher will work on local-level “deep dives” in Greece and connect social economy initiatives to care provision, precarious labour and local inequality processes. The role also involves qualitative and/or mixed-methods fieldwork, collaboration with stakeholders, and contributions to deliverables, policy briefs, peer-reviewed publications, meetings and dissemination activities.
Supervision is provided by Stylianos Gialis in the Department of Geography at the University of the Aegean. The work is connected to a wider research agenda on social economy, labour geography and territorial analysis within the laboratory and project network.
