Doctoral fellows in Cultural Anthropology (Horizon Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions)
The University of Catania (department of Political and Social Sciences) in Italy is looking for three doctoral fellows in Cultural Anthropology starting in 2023.
Deadline for applications is: January 14, 2023.
These research positions are part of the doctoral network on the "Anthropology of Global Climate Urgency" (C-Urge) funded by the Horizon Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. The network, based in five European universities, will train PhD candidates in Social/Cultural Anthropology who will be pioneering innovative and much needed qualitative climate science. C-Urge will generate new critical anthropological knowledge about global climate urgency that is academic, practical and policy-oriented with combined insights from the fields of human and economic geography, media studies, literature studies, digital humanities, international relations, environmental sciences (human geography, hydrology), STS (science, technology & society), and political sciences. Core research skills will be acquired by each doctoral candidate through the doctoral-level investigations of the task associated with his/her individual sub-project. Additional research skills will be delivered in the network-wide workshops, international conferences and training modules. Every doctoral candidate will undertake secondments in non- academic institutions of the C-URGE consortium to develop their inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary skills.

The PhD candidates placed at the University of Catania will carry out research on different sub-projects, two conducting ethnographic
fieldwork in Sri Lanka and one in Sicily.
