About this position

WORKLIVES is a two-year-style recruitment call at the postdoctoral level for two full-time scholars joining the Laboratoire d’Économie et Sociologie (LEST) at Aix-Marseille Université. The project, Work and Well-being among Immigrants in Cross-National Perspective, examines how immigrants’ occupational experiences are linked to health and well-being across different country and policy contexts in Western Europe and the United States.

The project is led by Dr. Molly Dondero and is built around a comparative, multimethod design. It combines analysis of large-scale survey data from Western Europe and the U.S. with in-depth life history interviews with middle- and older-aged immigrants in France, Spain, and the U.S. The research is aimed at understanding how work lives, health, and inequality intersect, including exposure to adverse environmental, physical, and psychosocial occupational conditions and differences shaped by national immigrant policies and public sentiment.

The two appointments are organized around complementary methodological profiles: one postdoctoral researcher will contribute primarily through quantitative methods, and the other through qualitative methods. Fellows will work closely with the principal investigator and the broader team to help develop the project’s scholarly agenda, contribute to data analysis, prepare manuscripts and conference presentations, and take part in broader research activities within LEST.

LEST is a joint research unit of CNRS and Aix-Marseille Université and is described in the advert as one of the leading laboratories in labor and social sciences. Its interdisciplinary environment brings together sociology, economics, political science, law, and management to study work, organizations, workplace relations, and their links to inequality and social change. The postdoctoral researchers will also join seminars, working groups, colloquia, and a summer research methods workshop, with opportunities to contribute to public-facing dissemination and grant development.

The appointment is for an initial one-year term, renewable after successful review, with a planned start in Spring 2027.
