The Migration Research Center at Koç University (MiReKoc) is recruiting two PhD researchers as part of the Marie Curie Doctoral Network MITIME, which is offering a total of 15 PhD positions across Europe. These positions are hosted at the Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities in Istanbul and are affiliated with MiReKoc. The research areas include migration, mobility, urban space/time, and advanced social research methods, making this an excellent opportunity for those interested in interdisciplinary and international academic collaboration. The two open PhD projects at Koç University are: Remote Work, Control & Mobility: This project, supervised by Dr. Aysen Ustubici (Koç University) and Dr. Edurne Bartolome (University of Deusto), explores how remote work intersects with migration governance, digital surveillance, and social stratification in post-industrial contexts. Migration & Time: Supervised by Prof. Ahmet Icduygu (Koç University) and Prof. Jean-Michel Lafleur (University of Liège), this project investigates how waiting, temporary statuses, and citizenship pathways shape migrants’ legal and social belonging. Applicants must comply with the Marie Curie mobility rule: you must not have lived or carried out your main activity in Türkiye for more than 12 months in the 3 years before recruitment. This makes the positions ideal for international applicants or Turkish researchers currently abroad. The program offers dual mentorship from leading European universities, secondment options, interdisciplinary training, and a strong networking environment. Funding is provided through the Marie Curie Doctoral Network, with competitive financial support.
