Martijn van den Brink is universitair docent EU-recht aan het Europa Instituut, Universiteit Leiden. Zijn onderzoeksinteresses liggen op het snijvlak van EU-grondwettelijk recht en politieke theorie. In zijn onderzoek richt Martijn zich in het bijzonder op de constitutionele positie van de EU-wetgever, op EU-burgerschap en vrij verkeer, en op de regulering van religieuze gelijkheid binnen de EU.
Zijn werk over de EU-wetgever is in 2024 gepubliceerd door Oxford University Press onder de titel Legislative Authority and Interpretation in the European Union. Zijn onderzoek is ook verschenen in gerenommeerde internationale tijdschriften zoals The Modern Law Review, International Journal of Constitutional Law, European Law Open, en het Journal of European Public Policy. Voor zijn onderzoek naar de regulering van religieuze gelijkheid binnen de EU ontving Martijn een British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Voordat hij bij de Universiteit Leiden kwam, was Martijn assistent-professor aan de Universiteit Maastricht en postdoctoraal fellow aan de Hertie School, University of Oxford, en aan het Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Göttingen. Hij is gepromoveerd aan het European University Institute en heeft rechten en politieke wetenschappen gestudeerd aan de universiteiten van Oxford en Groningen. Hij heeft gastposities bekleed aan de Universiteit van Michigan en de Universiteit van Zagreb.
