Dear RCCers,
I have good news for potential graduate students in environmental
humanities: 12 fully-funded positions from the EU as part of an ITN
we're coordinating under the leadership of the University of Leeds. The
Carson Center and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm are
the other two partners. It's a terrific group of people and wonderful
opportunity for excellent candidates interested in multi-disciplinary,
public-facing environmental humanities.
Would you please share it with your networks? The deadlines vary by
institution: April 20, (KTH) May 1, (Leeds) and May 15 (RCC).
Warm greetings,
Rob
Dr. Robert Emmett

TWELVE FUNDED DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES IN
EUROPE: LEEDS | MUNICH | STOCKHOLM
The Environmental Humanities for a Concerned Europe research group
(WWW.ENHANCEITN.EU [1]) is now seeking applicants for twelve
PhD/doctoral researchers:
Four PhD fellows at the Environmental Humanities Research Group at the
University of Leeds (deadline: May 1, 2015) [2]
Four doctoral fellows at the Rachel Carson Center at the Ludwig
Maximilian University of Munich and Deutsches Museum [3] (deadline: May
15, 2015)
Four PhD fellows at the Environmental Humanities Lab at the KTH Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm (deadline: April 20, 2015) [4]
These are fully-funded positions beginning in October 2015 to
participate in a jointly-organized European program with events and
training hosted by each of the partners for all twelve researchers.
Environmental Humanities for a Concerned Europe (ENHANCE) is a Marie
Curie European Innovative Training Network (ITN) providing
multidisciplinary doctoral training in Environmental Humanities. The
four main partners are the University of Leeds (UK), the Environmental
Humanities Lab at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
Sweden, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at Ludwig
Maximilian University, Munich, Germany, and the Deutsches Museum,
Munich.
The main aims of the network are to provide its Early-Stage Researchers
(ESRs)––12 in total across the four participating
institutions––with the academic and complementary skills training
needed to place them at the forefront of a new generation of
Environmental Humanities research; to lay down the foundation for a
structured, sustainable approach to doctoral training in Environmental
Humanities at EU level; and to provide potential employment for ESRs in
a wide range of careers including environmental consultancy, risk
assessment, research and development, green business management,
sustainable technologies media and communications, and not-for-profit
work (environmental and wildlife NGOs).
Research and training will concentrate on three major areas––natural
disasters and cultures of risk, history of science and technology, and
environmental ethics–-and will address a series of core interlocking
issues: wilderness and conservation; flooding and drought; climate
change and risk; and waste, environmental health, and environmental
justice.
All ESRs will be expected to work towards a doctoral degree in
humanities with the aim of completing this within the fixed term of
their appointment. They will also be expected to work closely with other
ESRs, both at their own and at other participating institutions; to go
on secondment at one or more of the ITN’s five intersectoral
Associated Partners; and to link their research work with key European
environmental policies including the Climate Change Programme, the
European Sustainable Development Strategy, the Water Framework
Directive, and Natura 2000, e.g. by examining the social, cultural, and
ethical factors that lie behind such major areas of international
concern as water shortage, species extinction, and global climate
change.
For more information about the specific opportunities and contacts for
the three research partners, please consult: WWW.ENHANCEITN.EU [1]
