København S
The Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, is seeking applications for a position as PhD. The position is part of the research project “DATA4ALL” and is available from 1 September 2020, for a duration of 36 months. Start date is negotiable.
About the DATA4ALL project
Despite decades of legal harmonization, the chance of receiving asylum for people from the same country still varies significantly across Europe and in the Nordics. The DATA4ALL project will leverage data science to understand outcome variations in asylum decisions across countries – a problem central to migration law and wider debates related to international cooperation in the area of asylum and refugees. The project will compare large-scale decision data and case file transcripts from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and use natural language processing (NLP), sentiment analysis, machine learning, and process mining to unpack and understand what shapes outcome variations. The project further draws on critical data studies to engage decision-makers themselves, raising question to the data and promote data literacy and ethics among both scholars and practitioners. As such, DATA4ALL will help showcase the wider potential of integrating migration law studies and data science..
The PhD employed as part of the DATA4ALL project will form a part of a larger research team, which includes senior researchers from both LAW and the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen, as well as one additional PhD and one postdoc specifically dedicated to the project. The PhD will define his or her own research idea and project within this broader project. The PhD will be responsible for securing a strong link to migration law within the project and may engage with both formal-legal and socio-legal approaches to asylum decision-making and perform legal analysis of underlying differences in interpretation and procedures across jurisdictions. Working together with data scientists, the PhD will be able to critically test different assumptions and explanatory factors and promote empirical approaches to migration law more broadly.
As part of an interdisciplinary team, the PhD will work independently but in dialogue with researchers trained in law, computer science and sociology. The candidate will be enrolled and based at the Faculty of Law and expected to teach relevant courses at LAW for at least one semester.
Qualifications
Applicants who in their education and/or practical work have practical experience in asylum and migration law will be given preference.
