Ideally, you will further have:

  • PhD in a relevant Humanities and Social Sciences discipline
  • A research profile of work in cities and urbanism aligned to the Centre’s mission in one or more of the following areas: urban governance and urban policy; historical aspects of urban development; social dimensions of urbanism and cities; urban space; theories of urbanism; cities as sites of culture
