*PhD Position (75%) (STS, University of Vienna)*
<br>
<br>/How are the ways in which researchers are evaluated - and what they
<br>value in their work - entangled with who they aim to be as researchers,
<br>and with the directions they choose in their research? This is the
<br>central questions of the project “Valuing, Being, Knowing.”
<br>(01/2019-06/2023) the position is part of. /
<br>
<br>Following a participatory research approach, we will accompany two life
<br>science research groups (most likely research groups following questions
<br>of environmental relevance and food security) and trace the situated
<br>entanglements of what researchers aim to know, what they value in their
<br>research and who they aim to be as researchers.
<br>
<br>The position offers the opportunity to work in an experienced team that
<br>has a strong orientation to contributing to the international scientific
<br>debate. Further, it is an opportunity of writing a PhD thesis with full
<br>integration in the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the
<br>University of Vienna that offers a rich environment for mutual exchange
<br>with international colleagues.
<br>
<br>The project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). Project
<br>leaders are Maximilian Fochler und Lisa Sigl. Further information on the
<br>project:

<br>_Start & duration of the position_: The earliest start of the position
<br>is March 2019. In case the position can be filled until the beginning of
<br>March, the duration of the position is 40 months (a later start can
