Working in collaboration with the IMI team and other project partners, the post-holder will coordinate the ‘work package’ related to the way how perceptions of access to welfare arrangements in origin and destination countries shape migration aspirations and decisions. The successful candidate will prepare literature reviews and scoping studies, conduct qualitative data collection, the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data and disseminate the project findings through academic publications (joint and single-authored) for peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, and through working papers and websites and other electronic media.
