Jacobo Muñoz-Comet

I am an Associate Professor / Profesor Titular at the Department of Sociology II (Social Stratification) of the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED, Madrid). I hold a PhD in Sociology from Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), a BA in Sociology (UNED), and a BA in Journalism (UCM). In 2014 I won the VI ISA Worldwide Competition for Junior Sociologists, organized by the International Sociological Association (ISA). From my doctorate to the present I have been a visiting researcher at the Department of Sociology at the Free University of Amsterdam (VU), MZES (University of Mannheim), COMPAS (University of Oxford), AIAS (UvA University of Amsterdam), and AMCIS (UvA University of Amsterdam). My research interests focus on social inequality, international migration, the labour market, non-standard employment, immigrant population and their descendants. Since 2018 I have been Secretary of the Research Committee CI-25 (Sociology of Migrations) of the Spanish Federation of Sociology (FES). In 2020 I was awarded with the UNED-Santander Prize of Research, Transfer and Dissemination (4th edition) for a scientific article published in Work, Employment and Society. I am currently co-principal investigator of the MICYCLO project, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
