The Migration Research Group (MRG), Hamburg Institute of International

social geography or anthropology.
- Proven research experience on international migration.
- Experience of empirical research methods, including interviews or
surveys.
- Fluency in Polish or Romanian (preferably mother tongue).
- Excellent oral and written English skills; knowledge of German would be

Applications from female candidates are particularly welcome.

The posts are half-time positions, for a duration of two years (1
September 2005 to 31 August 2007). They will be based in Hamburg, but
involve travel to Poland or Romania.
