Job Opening: PhD Position at STS Dept. Vienna University, Project: Making Europe through and for its Research Infrastructures
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>The Department of Science and Technology Studies at the University of Vienna <br>is inviting applications for the position of a <br> <br> DOCTORAL RESEARCHER (3 years, 30 hours/week) <br> <br>in the research project ‘Making Europe through and for its Research <br>Infrastructures’, jointly funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the <br>German Science Foundation (DFG) <br> <br>This project – a collaboration between the Department of Science and <br>Technology Studies (STS) at the University of Vienna and the Munich Center for <br>Technology in Society (MCTS) at the Technical University Munich aims to <br>analyze the mutual constitution of European transnational scientific <br>collaboration and European identity in the context of four transnational <br>research infrastructures, spanning more than sixty years of integration across <br>different disciplines. <br> <br>Collaborative transnational research infrastructures have formed an important <br>vehicle for European integration since the second half of the twentieth <br>century, unfolding in parallel to economic and political integration efforts. <br>Despite being widely considered a success, such scientific integration has <br>not yet extensively been studied in terms of how it incorporates and <br>contributes to emerging ‘European’ identities. This project therefore <br>studies four different research infrastructures that are distinct in terms <br>of age (being established between the 1950s and 2000s), form (including <br>centralized as well as networked facilities), and scientific field (ranging <br>from nuclear research and aerospace engineering to laser research and <br>biomedicine). <br> <br> In the context of this project, the successful applicant will research the <br>case of the Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucleaire (CERN) and work <br>towards a doctoral dissertation in Science and Technology Studies at the <br>University of Vienna (supervisor: Ulrike Felt). Further, you will be part of <br>an international project team working on three further cases, and contribute <br>to the comparative analysis of European scientific integration across cases. <br> <br>Job description <br> <br>The successful applicant is expected to <br> <br>Perform qualitative research on the history of CERN in relation to notions of <br>European (scientific) integration and identity <br>Complete a doctoral dissertation in STS on the basis of project research <br>Contribute to the comparative, cross-cutting research agenda of the project <br>Participate in project work, including (organization of) team meetings, <br>project maintenance, organization of project events, etc. <br>Participate in the academic environment of the Department on a day-to-day <br>basis. <br>Requirements <br> <br>We are looking for a candidate with a completed MA or equivalent degree in <br>science and technology studies (STS), political science, history of science, <br>science policy or associated fields, with a strong interest in and motivation <br>for the project. <br> <br>Experience in qualitative research and familiarity with the substance of the <br>project are an advantage. <br> <br>Candidates are expected to have excellent ability to work and write in English <br>and will be required to be based in Vienna for the duration of the project. <br> <br> Application <br> <br>Please submit your application, including: <br> <br>A motivation letter, explaining your interest in and qualifications for, doing <br>research in this project <br>Your CV <br>A writing sample (e.g. a chapter from your MA thesis, a paper) <br>1 letter of reference <br> Send your application to (sec.sts@univie.ac.at , <br>with a copy to ulrike.felt@univie.ac.at ) as <br>soon as possible; applications will be considered soon after they are <br>submitted.
