You can find out more about the project here: http://www.topologicalatlas.net/
Please do pass on to anyone you think might be interested!
*Deadline for all positions: 3 Oct 2018*
Particularly suited to this list is the following post-doc:
*TopATLAS Research Fellow (Digital Design)*
We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to help support a European Research Council funded project, Topological Atlas: Mapping Contemporary Borderscapes (TopATLAS). The project is focused on the investigation of border sites across three countries: Pakistan, Turkey and UK. It involves working with researchers from all three countries, as well as with a range of collaborators including NGOs, lawyers, artists and arts organisations.
The post holder’s main responsibility will be WP5 Topological Maps, but they will also be expected to contribute towards the project fieldwork and any related administrative duties. The post involves conducting desk based research into the security and surveillance technologies deployed at the borders under study and design based research into creating visualisations of how these borders function. The post holder will work in collaboration with the research team to produce spatial analyses of the legal, bureaucratic and security regimes at borders, as well as producing visual representations of the border based on qualitative interviews conducted with migrants and refugees.
The person appointed will have the opportunity to work creatively and in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of researchers. They will be expected to identify areas of research, develop design research methods and extend their research expertise in accordance with the aims of the TopATLAS Project and in particular WP5.
TopATLAS is based at the Centre for Research Architecture - https://www.gold.ac.uk/architecture/ - the post holder will be expected to take an active part in seminars, symposiums and roundtables at the Centre, including working with MA students associated with the project. They will also assist in the organisation of TopATLAS events (workshops, conferences and seminars).
