Dear list,
<br>
<br>we have two fully funded PhD positions available for aspiring STS
<br>scholars who can imagine to start or continue their career in beautiful
<br>(and safe) Norway.
<br>
<br>*1. Nurturing productive cultures of dense and flexible work spaces: The
<br>case of universities*
<br>
<br>Norway is restructuring and partly rebuilding the main campus of its
<br>largest university. So far a likely outcome will be that we end up with
<br>an 'activity based' workplace concept, in which employees move more or
<br>less freely between different 'activity spaces'. Some employees thrive
<br>under these more flexible conditions, while others doubt that they can
<br>be productive at all without a permanent office. This PhD is expected to
<br>produce knowledge about the relation between academic knowledge
<br>production and its material conditions in the form of work spaces.
<br>
<br>Application deadline: 15 June 2020

<br>
<br>*2. Representing zero emission built environments*
<br>
<br>A zero emission balance in the built environment is a very abstract
<br>thing, condensing into one number a large number of heterogeneous actors
<br>that are dispersed in space and time. How can such an abstract thing be
<br>communicated to those who are not fluent in the language of science? The
<br>PhD will search for new answers to this question by exploring a wide
<br>variety of sources, including but not restricted to art theory and
<br>innovative forms of journalism. The project's goal is to study and
<br>improve the current state of science communication in science based
<br>efforts to create carbon neutral built environments.
<br>
<br>Application deadline: 30 June 2020
<br>You should be able to read and speak a Scandinavian language to qualify
<br>for this job
