The Centre for Business, Society and Global Challenges at the Oxford
Brookes Business School, Oxford Brookes University is offering a
studentship to an exceptional candidate seeking to study for a full time
PhD in *migration, work and organisations* starting in January or April
2019.

to undergraduate students, will be for 3 years, subject to satisfactory
progress. The bursary will be £16,000 per annum, and fees will be paid by
the School.
*The Project*
Engaging in paid or unpaid work and transition in the labour market are
often important in shaping migration trajectories and integration
experiences for economic migrants and refugees. Current political, economic
and social developments globally have introduced a variety of challenges
for migrants and organisations – driving new forms of mobility whilst
fundamentally changing the terms of engagement between actors and
institutions. We are interested in examining how commercial and
non-commercial organisations, and experiences of work within workplaces,
shape migrants’ integration into the labour market, alongside their
settlement more generally, as well as understanding the distinctive forms
of migrant agency that are brought to bear upon these processes. Moreover,
the study may also account for how other organisations, including civil
society bodies, NGOs and state institutions, impact upon migrants’ entry
into work, learning and development, and their broader adjustment to
working in the host society, identifying both the scope and limitations for
enabling migrant agency within these organisations.
Applicants are expected to hold a good undergraduate degree and a good
Master’s degree at merit level or above in a relevant area of the social
sciences (e.g. organization studies, sociology, geography, anthropology or
migration studies). Applicants should also be able to demonstrate strong
research capabilities, preferably an experience of having conducted
fieldwork, and be fluent in spoken and written English.
We are looking to recruit a candidate of the highest quality and who is
capable of submitting a PhD thesis within 3 years. Funding will cover the
three year period subject to the candidate making satisfactory progress
annually. PhD students will take part in the School’s doctoral programme,
which offers seminars and training on research methodology as well as a
collegiate environment to present work in progress.
Candidates interested in discussing their proposals can contact the
supervisory team: Dr Peter Lugosi ([log in to unmask]) and Dr Tamsin
