Call for Applications Theme: Practicing Place Subtitle: Sociocultural Practices and Epistemic Configurations Type: Doctoral and Postdoctoral Positions Institution: Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU) Location: Eichstätt (Germany) Date: from April 2021 Deadline: 10.12.2020 __________________________________________________ The newly approved DFG-funded research training group “Practicing Place: Sociocultural Practices and Epistemic Configurations“ invites applications for 10 part-time positions (75%) as research associate (doctoral candidate) (Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/-in (m/w/d)) to be filled by April 1, 2021, for a limited period of 3 years and 1 full-time position (100%) as research associate (postdoc) (Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/-in (m/w/d)) to be filled by April 1, 2021, initially for a period of 3 years. The place of work shall be Eichstätt. Provided that the requirements are met, remuneration in the private-law employment relationship will be according to the pay grade E 13 TV-L. The proposed research training group aims at a critical reflection of the concepts of ‚place’ and ‘placing’ from a decidedly interdisciplinary perspective. Place and processes of (re-)placing have become central to a discussion of complex global interrelations, precisely at a time of growing transnational interdependencies and seemingly borderless communication networks. According to our guiding research idea, we suggest to think of place dynamically, as practicing place. Hence, we will consider specific practices of placing and their concomitant epistemic configurations (such as comprehending, mapping, locating, imagining, writing, experiencing, and redefining places) as well as the situatedness and specific locality of any practice. The call for applications is generally open to all disciplines that can make a substantial contribution to the overarching interdisciplinary questions of the research training group.
