Education + Careers

The nccr – on the move is a network that brings together early scholars with a research interest in the Migration-Mobility Nexus who want to pursue their pre-or postdoctoral research in the field of migration and mobility studies. The doctoral program and postdoctoral training activities offer the unique possibility of networking at the national and international levels with leading figures in the field. Early researchers are part of a diverse multidisciplinary community of quantitative and qualitative academics who shed light on the phenomena of migration and mobility in various interdisciplinary projects.

The nccr – on the move is committed to creating a supportive environment in which doctoral students can finish their doctoral dissertations while receiving intra-, inter- and transdisciplinary training. This doctoral work is consolidated through the Certificate in Migration and Mobility Studies. PostDocs are involved in the NCCR activities which are relevant for their career stage, while benefitting from further offers tailored to their needs. Career planning is a fundamental part of the educational offer of the nccr – on the move. Resources in the shape of workshops and individual coaching are available at different stages of the doctoral and postdoctoral paths.
