**A Social History of the Ebola Epidemics : Ethnography of a Neighbourhood**
**Fieldwork in Guinea**
*
As partners of a European research project aiming at studying the 
conditions of a more efficient response to the epidemic risk of Ebola 
hemorrhagic fever in Guinea-Conakry,
funded by Horizon 2020, we offer a three-year PhD contract at the 
prestigious Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon (ENS de Lyon).

The PhD student will join a team of anthropologists to work on a 
socio-history of the Ebola epidemics, aiming at reporting on the 
political and social questions raised by the
sanitary intervention against Ebola in Guinea-Conakry, based on an 
ethnography of a neighbourhood and/or a village.

He will describe and analyze the logics and experiences of care and 
non-care during the epidemics, the forms of mobilization and political 
expression in the context of the Ebola
epidemic crisis, the conflicts of legitimacy that were born in the area 
of health governance.

Within a team based at ENS de Lyon and composed of another PhD student 
and a senior researcher, the PhD student will take part in doctoral 
trainings conduct long-term
fieldwork in the Republic of Guinea. His PhD research will be supervised 
by Prof. Frederic Le Marcis, Professor in Social Anthropology, a 
specialist in Anthropology of
Health and a member of several European and national research projects.
