The French Institute of South Africa and the Forced Migration Studies
Programme at Wits University, Johannesburg are pleased to announce three
new positions on our Migration and Transit Research Programme:
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP: Mediums of Exchange and Imagination
Migrants in sending, transit, and host countries (between South Africa, the
rest of the continent and Western destinations) circulate information using
a variety of written, verbal, and electronic media. This project will
develop an archive of these forms of communication and explore how they
shape migrants and non-migrants relations to each other, the space they
inhabit, and places about which they only now imagine.
POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP: Mapping Migration
Using newly collected quantitative data and original qualitative interviews
from Johannesburg, Lubumbashi, Maputo and Nairobi, the fellow will map of
current migration routes through to Southern Africa, various connections
and exchanges among migrant groups, and potential migration trajectories.
This study will consider possible motivations for and constraints on
movement at both macro (continental) level and micro (inter-city) level.
This position requires proven GIS skills.
SHORT TERM RESEARCH POST: Statistics Resource Officer
Reporting to the Research Director of the French Institute and the Director
of the Forced Migration Studies Programme, the Statistics Resource Person
will be expected to complete specific research requests within a one-year
period. The position also include a private office with computer and access
to all department and university facilities.
