Are you interested in the relationship between the executive and the legislature in migration law? And would you like to work in a large team of migration law scholars? Then apply for this PhD position at the Vrije Universiteit.
We invite applications for a PhD position in Executive Legislation in Migration Law (‘Bestuurswetgeving in het migratierecht’). This research project focuses on the legislative powers of the executive in Dutch migration law. You will compare this with the legislative competence of the administration in social assistance law, in Germany and in the past; and you will analyse how this relates to general constitutional and administrative law. The project is part of Lieneke Slingenberg’s VIDI project titled “Executive supremacy? Executive lawmaking in migration law”, funded by NWO and embedded in the Amsterdam Centre for Migration and Refugee Law (ACMRL). The position requires fluency in Dutch and English. You will be supervised by Prof Lieneke Slingenberg and Dr Lisanne Groen.
This position has sparked your interest and you are fluent in Dutch and English? Then please send your application by 18 May 2025. Interviews will be held on 5 June 2025 with a view to starting the position in September or October 2025.
