PhD vacancy: Return Migration Governance

Interdisciplinary research on the following questions:

• What are the relevant laws and policies through which the EU seeks to govern return migration? What are the practices through which return migration is implemented, negotiated, navigated and contested. And how do the EU's legal and policy infrastructures for return migration relate to these operational infrastructures?
• Through which laws, policies, and practices do 'regional' host states in the EU's southern neighbourhood seek to govern the return of migrants and refugees? And how are the capacities and political will that determine the legal, institutional, and operational infrastructures for return migration in the EU's southern neighbourhood shaped by the EU's external migration policies?
