The Department of Business & Management (DBM) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship within the newly established elite center PACA under the supervision of Patricia Wolf, Søren Askegaard and Bryan Yazell. The position is located at SDU’s Campus in Odense and is vacant from 1st October or soon thereafter.
Job description
The applicant is expected to hold a PhD degree relevant to the topics of the fellowship.
PhD candidates about to complete will also be considered and should attach a statement from their supervisors regarding their impending completion.
The Post Doc will work in the SDU Climate Elite Centre project “Mobilizing Post-Anthropocentric Climate Action: A New Root Narrative” (PACA). PACA seeks to map post-anthropocentric social theories that challenge the nature-culture divide and investigate traces of these theories in the population. It assesses the extent to which such practices and beliefs can provide a positive narrative for a new organization of production and consumption practices and, finally, the role of universities as mediators of the emergent post-anthropocentrism. This project has the ambition to develop into an international hub for research in post-anthropocentric consumption and production systems as foundational for a sustainable economy.
The Post Doc will focus on unpacking post-anthropocentric theory to conceptualize a post-anthropocentric ontology in social movements, communities, and industries. PACA is based on the hypothesis that a conceptual shift in Social Sciences towards a post-anthropocentric narrative(s) can provide the imaginative basis for a different economy with different modes of production and consumption and to mobilize what has been termed the emergent ecological class (Latour and Schultz 2022).
The Post Doc will collaborate with two PhDs in empirical studies researching
- the terrain and post-anthropocentric narrative(s) of dominant actors in the consumption and production-related social movements, communities, and industries as well as
- systemic intermediary strategies for universities to promote an effective post-anthropocentric narrative in society.
While both of these elements are central to the project, the focus of this Post Doc position is on the post-anthropocentric narratives and alternative economic production/consumption models.
For further information, please contact professor Søren Askegaard aske@sam.sdu.dk, professor wsr Patricia Wolf pawo@sam.sdu.dk, or associate professor Bryan Yazell yazell@sdu.dk.
