[ATHENA] Annonce de contrats doctoraux et post-doctoraux (projet SCARCE, Université de Vienne)

[thomas morel <thomas_morel AT msn.com>]

Chères et chers collègues,

Je transmets avec plaisir l’annonce de Sebastian Felten, concernant le projet ERC SCARCE qu’il coordonne à l’université de Vienne (voir détail ci-dessous en anglais). Il s’agit d’étudier l’histoire de l'extraction et de la gestion des ressources minérales en Europe centrale à l’époque moderne (1550-1850).

Les deux annonces concernent plus spécifiquement

• un contrat post-doctoral de 4 ans et

• deux contrats doctoraux de 4 ans également.

N’hésitez pas à le contacter pour en discuter (sebastian.felten[at]@univie.ac.at) ! Si la maîtrise de l’allemand est nécessaire au vu du thèmes, il y a un grand nombre de sujets possibles en histoire des sciences, des techniques et savoirs au sens large, de l’économie …

Cordialement,

Thomas Morel

For my ERC project at the University of Vienna, I’m looking to fill the following positions:

1 Postdoctoral Researcher (full-time, 4 years): https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="https%3A%2F%2Fjobs.univie.ac.at%2Fjob%2FPostdoctoral-Researcher-in-Early-Modern-History%2F975120201%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7C482907cb137f45f138bd08dbabc82cf1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638292648450484361%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=jFYZKK%2BzvyIiK7m7A7lUsqJFwRlQBwQEqjIjSDD3A3w%3D&reserved=0
2 PhD Positions (30h/week, 4 years): https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="https%3A%2F%2Fjobs.univie.ac.at%2Fjob%2F2-PhD-Positions-in-Early-Modern-History%2F975120501%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7C482907cb137f45f138bd08dbabc82cf1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638292648450484361%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=MfA5WIO7RJk6FCLAONmQ93JVd3PFHulOLijXEqIGup4%3D&reserved=0

The deadline is 26 October 2023, and contracts can start between 1 January and 31 October 2024.

SCARCE (Sustained Concerns: Administration of Mineral Resources in Central Europe, 1550-1850) is working at the intersection of history of science and technology, social and economic history, and environmental history (https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="https%3A%2F%2Fscarce.univie.ac.at%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7C482907cb137f45f138bd08dbabc82cf1%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638292648450484361%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WNNc3BP1NPjE2Sm7pBgKTaNzdndyC27zLBsW3Ezn%2BBM%3D&reserved=0). It provides a critical history of today's stakeholder conflicts by showing how contradictory principles of resource management – economic development, sustainability, and technological innovation – were forged in proto-industrial settings. It explores early modern ways of provisioning for communities, making them available for current debates on environmental degradation and climate emergency.

A range of profiles (history of science, technology, medicine, gender, environmental, social, economic) would fit for the positions, and candidates are encouraged to propose their own project based on own interest and expertise. Linguistic skills will be a key selection criterion, as much of the sources and literature are in German and other (East) Central European languages, but there’s room for improving languages on the job and taking a transregional approach with additional archives elsewhere. I’m happy to speak meet informally and discuss project ideas (sebastian.felten AT univie.ac.at)

Best wishes,
Sebastian (Felten)
