Are you curious about the relations between humans, animals and their environments? Are you interested in exploring how various technologies [of vision] are shaping such relationships amidst global environmental challenges? Do you have affinity or experience with filmmaking, multimodal ethnographic research methods and/or creative modes of storytelling? Do you have an innovative research idea and enjoy working together with a diverse group of committed researchers?
The Department of Anthropology is currently seeking a talented PhD candidate working at the intersection of human-nature relations, (digital) technologies and multimodal methods. This project is funded by combining Starter Grants (Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science) of Dr Martha-Cecilia Dietrich, Dr Ildikó Plájás and Dr Else Vogel.
The Department of Anthropology is part of the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FMG) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The PhD track is part of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR) programme group ‘Exploring diversity, critical ethnographies on belonging and exclusion’.
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.
