The successful PhD candidate will conduct research within the Ambizione project “GBTIQ+ Parents and Single Fathers in Switzerland: Parenting Outside Hegemonic Family Norms" funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

As a result, they are regularly discriminated against, stigmatized, and face a range of interrelated social, legal, political, and economic challenges that impact on their parenting. According to the project proposal, the PhD candidate will focus on single fathers, but other forms of parenting outside the hegemonic norms, such as transnational fathers, imprisoned fathers, young fathers, or disabled fathers, may also be examined.
