The Instituto Universitario de Estudios sobre Migraciones (IEM) will welcome applications from candidates interested in the areas of education and transition to the labour market. The special focus of the project would be on intergenerational mobility of the second generation and on the factors which help or hinder their way through the educational system and their access to the labour market, including the influence of family and ethnic social capital.
The project is to be carried out in a crosscultural perspective comparing the second generation of moroccan origin in Spain with that of two other countries with different school systems and migration history. The candidate will work on the TIES data set and do complementary qualitative research.
Basically a background in social sciences, with good skills in quntitative methods is required. Language proficiency in English as well as some knowledge of Spanish are also necessary requirements. Language tuition in order to acquire fluency in Spanish will be provided if necessary. Training in qualitative research methods will also be provided.
