The ERC Advanced Grant: “Grassroots economics: Meaning, project and practice in the pursuit of livelihood” invites applications for 2 post doctoral positions.
Deadline for Applications 31 May 2013. Employment is to begin on 1 September 2013.
Job Title: Two Post Doctoral positions attached to ERC Advanced Grant: “Grassroots economics: Meaning, project and practice in the pursuit of livelihood”
Description of Project:
The project investigates grassroots economics by addressing the social, cultural and political environments in which common people make everyday economic decisions. Through an interdisciplinary approach that uses ethnographic fieldwork and comparative analysis, it investigates the interaction between individuals, households and institutions. The aim is to respond to the following questions: 1) How is the value(s) of economic action assessed? How do ordinary people negotiate different moral frameworks in pursuit of a better life? 2) What are the material and ideological conditions of possibility for designing life projects? What are the power relations that configure distribution patterns and channels for accessing resources? 3) What is the relationship between authoritative models of the economy and the real economic projects and practices of ordinary people in their pursuit of a livelihood?
Job Summary:
A PhD in social anthropology or a closely related discipline in the social sciences is required. Postdoctoral fellows will conduct ethnographic research in Portugal, Italy, Greece or Spain. They will take an active role in organizing scholarly activities related to the project, including conferences, workshops and seminars. Research will be based at the Universitat de Barcelona.
