The Project A06 “Work-family Policies: Socioeconomic Outcomes and Policy Learning" (Prof. Sonja Blum, Faculty of Sociology) is seeking to appoint a PhD Researcher at Bielefeld University.

The project will investigate (1) how family policies affect the socioeconomic outcomes of women and children; and (2) under what conditions and through which mechanisms policy actors utilize information on these outcomes, leading to policy learning. In this context, the successful candidate is expected to make a substantial contribution on the second question, particularly by conducting qualitative case studies of Mexico and Germany, alongside an active engagement in the project’s overall research agenda. 

Application deadline: 12.01.2026
