Katie Kuschminder (PhD) is a Senior Researcher in Political Science at the University of Amsterdam and an independent migration consultant. At the University of Amsterdam, she is the Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant Reintegrate (2021-2026).

Katie's research focuses on the nexus of migration policies and migrants agency. This includes in the fields of irregular migration, refugees journeys, return migration and reintegration.
Katie has been working in research for fifteen years and has worked on or led consulting projects for IOM, ILO, ICMPD, GIZ, WFP, World Bank, Research and Documentation Centre of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security (WODC) and as an expert for various consulting organizations.
