Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Global Refugee Policy
Faculty of Public Affairs
Carleton University
Ottawa, Canada
Description
TheFaculty of Public Affairs at Carleton University brings together diverse
academic units that work to address regional and global challenges with the aim
of fostering informed citizenship and building better societies. Our research
and teaching engages with fields such as politics, media and communications,
economics, international relations, and law, and seeks to forge solutions to
some of society’s greatest challenges. For example, the Faculty is actively
engaged in a range of research and teaching initiatives at Carleton University
that relate to refugee and migration policy and practice.
This Post-Doctoral Fellowship offers the opportunity to actively engage with a
number of these initiatives, while conducting independent research in the area
of global refugee policy. The Fellowship is ideally suited to an early-career
researcher who wishes to pursue a research career at the intersection of global
refugee research, policy and practice.
The Fellow will work directly withDr. James Milner, Associate Professor of
Political Science and Project Director of LERRN: The Local Engagement Refugee
Research Network, along with other members of the LERRN team. LERRN is
seven-year initiative funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada (SSHRC).
LERRN is a team of researchers and practitioners committed to promoting
protection and solutions with and for refugees. Their goal is to ensure that
refugee research, policy and practice are shaped by a more inclusive, equitable
and informed collective engagement of civil society. Through collaborative
research, training, and knowledge-sharing, LERRN aims to improve the
functioning of the global refugee regime and ensure more timely protection and
rights-based solutions for refugees. Their work is focused in the global South,
which hosts 85% of the world’s refugees, and responds to the needs and
opportunities identified by LERRN’s partners in major refugee-hosting countries.
A specific research focus of LERRN is to understand the everyday politics of
the global refugee regime as illustrated by efforts to implement global refugee
policy in diverse local contexts. Building from recent scholarship onglobal
refugee policy and understandings of expressions and experiences of power in
the global refugee regime, LERRN is examining distinct efforts to implement
specific examples of global refugee policy in Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon and
Tanzania.
This Fellowship will enable an emerging research leader in the area of refugee
policy and politics to develop their own research agenda in the area of global
refugee policy. We are especially interested in Fellowship applicants who
present an independent research project that seeks to explain variation in the
implementation of global refugee policy across contexts, and who can then
translate these findings into both high impact research publications as well as
forms that are useable by the policy and practitioner communities, while also
contributing to LERRN’s knowledge mobilization activities and impact.
More specifically, the Fellow will:
1. Design and implement an independent comparative research project on the
implementation of global refugee policy in East Africa and/or the Middle East,
ideally in collaboration with LERRN’s partners
2. Produce high-impact research publications as well as contribute to LERRN’s
knowledge dissemination to policy and practitioner communities
3. Contribute to the development of linkages between LERRN and related
initiatives at Carleton University by organizing an annual research exchange
workshop
4. Leverage existing capacities to identify new research partnership
opportunities
5. Provide mentorship to graduate students engaged in LERRN research
6. Contribute to the training of undergraduate students in the field,
including by teachingPSCI3608: Migration Governance in Winter 2020 and Winter
2021
Requirements:The successful candidate will have:
1. A completed PhD (or equivalent) or be very near completion of a PhD (or
equivalent) at the time of application in a field relevant to the research
focus of the Fellowship. (Note that the second year of funding would normally

months of the Fellowship being held. In the case of an applicant who has
already completed a PhD (or equivalent), the relevant degree must have been
completed within five years of the start of the award.)
2. A research and publication track-record directly relevant to research
focus of the Fellowship and appropriate for the stage in the applicant’s career
3. Experience working independently, in cross-cultural contexts, and in a
dynamic research team environment

mobilization, particularly with the policy and practitioner communities
