Jérémie Molho’s research adopts a comparative urban studies approach. He has conducted fieldwork in emerging global cities such as Istanbul, Doha and Singapore and has been developing an interest for visual and video-based research methods in recent years. Jérémie's current research compares the urban policies and politics of attraction and retention of migrants with complex trajectories spanning across Asia, the Middle East and Canada. Since 2023, he is the Principal investigator of the project Fostering Integration Through the Arts (FIT-ART), a partnership with the Toronto Arts Council (TAC) funded by Canada’s Social Science and Humanities Research Council, which studies the TAC’s program for newcomers and refugees. He is also co-PI in the project funded by the French Embassy in Canada exploring 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 and 2019, he was research associate at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy (EUI), and then 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 post-doctoral 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’.
