Jérémie Molho
Jérémie Molho’s research explores the intersections of migration, urban governance, and cultural change in global cities. Since 2024, he is the Principal Investigator of the project Highly Skilled Migration in Global Cities, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grant. This project investigates the complex trajectories of hypermobile professionals and the evolving strategies of global cities to attract and retain diverse forms of talent.
From 2023 to 2025, he has also been the Principal Investigator of Fostering Integration Through the Arts (FIT-ART), a partnership with the Toronto Arts Council funded by SSHRC, which explores the role of arts in integration and the challenges faced by newcomer artists in Toronto. He was also co-PI on a project funded by the French Embassy in Canada examining the trajectories of French students in Canada.
Jérémie received his BA in Middle Eastern Studies and MA in Urban Studies from Sciences Po Paris, and his PhD in Geography (2016) from the University of Angers, France. From 2016 to 2019, he was a research associate at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy, then a Marie Curie Fellow at the National University of Singapore (2019–21) and the EUI (2021–22). His doctoral research explored the globalization of art markets in Istanbul, Singapore, Doha, and Hong Kong. His postdoctoral research analyzed the governance of diversity in Doha and Singapore. From 2021 to 2023, he initiated and coordinated the National University of Singapore–University of Paris project Governing Diverse Cities in Europe and Asia.
