Fully Funded European PhD Training Programme (2026–2029)

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network MITIME ("Entanglements of Migration and Time in Post-industrial Urban Europe") has just launched a call for 15 doctoral research positions as part of its international PhD training programme. These fully funded positions offer an excellent opportunity for ambitious early-career scholars to pursue interdisciplinary and intersectoral research on migration, mobility, integration, transnationality, time, border and urban studies, policy, and related fields. The network is designed to foster scientific excellence and will support researchers' professional development through structured training and supervision, international mobility, and a nurturing, collaborative atmosphere. 

The three-year, full-time positions will be hosted by institutions across the network's seven partner countries: Belgium, Ireland, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Turkey. 

Selected candidates will complete and submit a doctoral thesis in a particular field, will take part in international secondments to other universities and civil society partners, and will actively participate in leadership of core MITIME project outputs (e.g. scientific articles, conference panels, EC reports, thematic workshops, etc.). 

Deadline for applications is 1 February 2026. Full details on individual doctoral project descriptions, eligibility criteria, and application procedures can be found at: www.migrationtime.eu.
