Jens Arnholtz

Biography

Jens Arnholtz is an associate professor at the Employment Relations Research Center (FAOS) at the University of Copenhagen, where he earned his Ph.D. in sociology. His research centers around the creation of a common European labor market, with a focus on political economy, employment relations and sociology. During his Ph.D. studies, he was a visiting scholar at the European Trade Union Institute in Brussels.

During his time at CES, Arnholtz will examine the concept of ‘posted workers’ in Europe ¬– referring to employees contracted to work in another EU member state but who are not part of that country’s labor market. The project will contribute to the understanding of the political economy of European labor mobility.
