Post-Doc & PhD Vacancies in the ERC Project "Future Space" STS, Uni Vienna

                Dear all,

I am looking for a post-doc researcher and a Ph.D. candidate (fully 
funded) for my ERC Starting Grant Project, "_FutureSpace: Making the 
Ariane Rocket: Negotiating Relations between European Integration and 
the Future of Europe in Space_" (University of Vienna, STS Dep.)
Join us on a journey to explore the relations between large-scale 
infrastructures, European integration, and envisioned space futures 
through multi-sited ethnographies!

Deadline for applications: June 15, 2023

More info about the positions here:

More information about the project:
FutureSpace (PI: Dr Nina Klimburg Witjes) explores the intricate 
relations between large-scale infrastructures, practices of European 
integration, and envisioned space futures, using the case of the 
European Ariane rocket. The project will provide empirically and 
theoretically rich insights into how the future of European integration 
in space is imagined and enacted in the global space race. 
Methodologically, the project team will conduct an interdisciplinary and 
multi-sited ethnography that links social science and engineering to 
explore the material and imaginative aspects of space infrastructures. 
Over five years, we will "follow the rocket around" across Europe to 
understand how it is imagined and enacted by different actors over time 
and to trace the co-productive relationship between practices of 
European integration, changing geopolitical power relations, and 
envisioned futures of space.
We will draw on and contribute to the lively debates in STS, Social 
Studies of Outer Space, international relations, and anthropology of 
outer space on the politics of infrastructuring; space as a place; 
sociotechnical imaginaries, commercialization and militarization of 
space, sustainability, governance, and values in the New Space age, as 
well as to methodological innovations in studying the relations of Earth 
and outer space.

I would be grateful if you could share these job openings with your 
network. Please reach out to nina.witjes@univie.ac.at if you have any 
questions about the positions and the project.

Thanks and best,

Nina
