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 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
