I share with the populations I study - as well as many scientists - a multilocal living.
I'm researcher at the sociological Institute of the University Basel since 2007. For my first research topic "multilocality" I'm currently visiting scientist at the National Institute for Demography (INED) in Paris. Then I will continue this research in cooperation with the special section "multilocality of family" at the German youth Institute. I was also between 2008 and 2010 postdoctoral research fellow at the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration Lausanne. One year before I was postdoctoral teaching assistant at the University Savoy in France.

For my PhD I spent my time institutionally between the Humboldt-University, the Centre Marc Bloch, as well as the statistical office - all three in Berlin - and the University of Strasbourg in France. Many scientific discussions and paid activities allowed me to succeed in writing the Thesis. I'm also most grateful to the institutions which gave me research grants (Stiftung Luftbrückendank, OFAJ, DAAD, European Doctoral College of Strasbourg, Centre Marc Bloch Berlin).

My first big professional experience has been the coordination of a heavy survey at National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) in Strasbourg 1996-1998. At the same time I finished one master in Demography and then a master in Social sciences.
