On behalf of Annelies Zoomers...

The Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning (SGPL) at Utrecht University seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor in International Development Studies (IDS) with extensive field experience (in Africa, Asia and/or Latin America) and with expertise in the field of TRANSNATIONAL MOBILITIES, TRANSLOCAL RELATIONS AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS.
This position will augment and complement our departmental research program “Urban Futures: Transitions Towards Economic and Social Sustainability for Cities”. Central to our IDS research and teaching programme is the understanding of the complex relationship between migration/mobilities and inclusive and sustainable development in urban settings. Globalisation has given rise to new and intensified flows and circulations of people, goods, capital and knowledge, contributing to rapid transformations, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The presence of migrants, tourists, entrepreneurs, bundled with related non-human interconnectivities, shape urban places and people, their development trajectories and livelihood possibilities in distinct ways, often through networks of different kinds. We study the impact of different types of human mobility on processes of spatial transformation (the appearance of urban hubs/corridors – enclosures/ enclaves – and displacement processes) and the consequences for people’s wellbeing. Institutions are important elements in this research theme, as human (and other related) mobilities are shaped and their impacts mediated by institutional frameworks that are usually place-specific, yet encourage, hinder or steer developmental outcomes.
Key words: flows of people, goods, capital and knowledge in relations to sustainable livelihoods/ sustainable (urban) futures.
