Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich 1369) “Culture of Vigilance:
Transformations – Spaces – Techniques”. This Centre covers a broad time

historical and cultural foundations of watchfulness as well as the
participation of individuals who lend it their heightened attention
partially and situationally in the service of a higher task.


The Collaborative Research Centre invites applications for a research
project in social and cultural anthropology to investigate *“The vigilance
of those mistaken for migrants in the US-Mexican border area”*. This
project examines constellations of vigilance in the US-Mexican border
region and analyzes the strategies of vigilance employed by individuals,
perceived as undocumented immigrants who thus expect to experience
racialized discrimination. The project is led by Prof. Dr. Eveline Dürr.

- conduct research (including fieldwork) in the context of this project
(with an opportunity for a Habilitation)

- prepare and participate in project-based publications

- support and help organize project based events and activities

research training group of the Collaborative Research Centre


*Your profile: *

and Cultural Anthropology with outstanding results

- ethnographic fieldwork experience is a requirement

- excellent command of English and Spanish is required; good communication
skills in German are an advantage

- candidates have to demonstrate their openness towards working in an
interdisciplinary context as well as an interest in theoretical questions


Applicants with disabilities who possess essentially equal qualifications
will be given preference. LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer
committed to excellence through diversity, and therefore explicitly
encourages women to apply.
