Open PhD Position: Multimodal Experimentations in More-Than-Human Anthropology - Amsterdam, Nederland - Universiteit van Amsterdam
Beschrijving
What are you going to do
This is an open call for applicants to submit proposals for individual research projects addressing 'more-than-human' relations involving technological and ecological landscapes, animals, and/or other living entities. While the candidate will develop their own unique research idea, the proposed research project must align with the stated thematic focus (more-than-human relations) and methodological approach (multimodal/experimental). We are interested in projects that approach multi/inter/cross-species collaborations through creative engagements with time, space and/or sensory/affective lifeworlds. We envision this position as a place for methodological experimentation within anthropology and as an invitation to explore various forms of multimodal storytelling.
The aim of this position is for the candidate to contribute to the emerging fields of environmental anthropology and 'multi-species ethnography' within the Department of Anthropology, connecting the expertise in visual anthropology and science and technology studies offered by the supervision team.
While the supervisory team has extensive research experience in Western and Eastern Europe and Latin America, we encourage candidates of diverse backgrounds to apply with projects that are situated in other geographic locations as well.

We will put together a curriculum which will also include the opportunity to attend training courses and both national and international events. You will also be tasked with teaching bachelor's students.
For this position the University Job Classification profile "Promovendus" applies. Your salary will be €2, gross per month in the first year and will increase to €3, in the final year, based on full-time employment of 38 hours per week and in keeping with the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities.
