The Anthropology Department at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers an inspiring and supportive environment for doctoral research. We welcome PhD candidates who develop innovative, socially engaged research that contributes to both academic debates and societal challenges
As a PhD candidate, you'll join a department that values theoretical depth, methodological creativity, and collaborative research practices. As a PhD candidate you have the opportunity to work with our Ethnographic Impact Lab, collaborating with NGOs, policymakers, and community partners to translate ethnographic insights into societal impact.
