This will form part of the broader project “Epidemic Traces. Remains of infectious disease control in Africa”, which investigates how epidemic and anti-epidemic measures durably alter bodies, ecologies, landscapes, infrastructures, kinship and activism in various African sites.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">For more information on this project: </span><a href="https://www.sv.uio.no/sai/english/research/projects/epitraces/index.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">Epidemic Traces - Department of Social Anthropology (uio.no)</span></a><span lang="EN-GB" class="">. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">The candidate should have a very recent master’s degree in social or cultural anthropology or a related discipline, and demonstrate an ability to think across humanities disciplines, combining ethnographic and historical methods with aspects of STS, material culture studies, geography, archaeology and/or heritage studies, to examine how the past – as memory, and the materiality of bodies, circulations and habits, archives, technologies and infrastructure – continues to act in the present.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">For the job advert please visit the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CNE852/phd-position-in-the-project-epidemic-traces" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">job advert</a>.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" class="">If you want to discuss your ideas, please contact Noemi Tousignant (<a href="mailto:n.tousignant@ucl.ac.uk" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">n.tousignant@ucl.ac.uk</a>), Ruth Prince (<a href="mailto:r.j.prince@medisin.uio.no" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">r.j.prince@medisin.uio.no</a>) and Wenzel Geissler (<a href="mailto:p.w.geissler@sai.uio.no" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">p.w.geissler@sai.uio.no</a>)</span></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
