**About the Project:

The 'University Students as Migrants: A New History of Educational Mobility in Western Europe, 1960s-1980s' project aims to re-evaluate the experiences of university students who moved across Western Europe during the Cold War era.

This innovative research endeavour brings together leading historians and researchers from the UK and Germany to investigate the intersection of student mobility and migration policies in the region.

The project is led by Dr Daniel Laqua (Northumbria University) and Prof. Isabella Löhr (Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History), who will collaborate with a Potsdam-based Research Fellow on the German component of the project.

You will play a key role in shaping the project's research outcomes, contributing to the production of a co-authored monograph that explores the complex relationships between student mobility, migration policies, and educational institutions in Western Europe.

**Your Opportunities:**

  • To work on a ground-breaking research project that challenges existing narratives on student mobility and migration.
  • To contribute to the development of a new understanding of the complex dynamics between student mobility, migration policies, and educational institutions in Western Europe.
  • To engage with a dynamic team of researchers and academics, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing throughout the project.

Northumbria University values excellence in research, teaching, and community engagement, providing a supportive environment for you to grow and thrive in your career.
