Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a new call for visiting research fellows at Tema T Technology and Social Change, Linkping University, Sweden, for the calendar year 2026. We would like to give both junior and senior researchers the opportunity to stay between one and two months at our department and engage with our vibrant interdisciplinary research environment. We will provide an apartment as well as research infrastructure (work place, IT, library) for this time and can cover the travel to and from Linkping. Please find more information in the attached leaflet.
This time we are offering two tracks, one on Urban and Regional Climate Transitions and one on Interdisciplinary Medical Humanities and Bioethics. Please find more information below, in the two leaflets attached or at https://liu.se/en/organisation/liu/tema/temat/research-fellows-at-technology- and-social-change-2024-
Examples of topics of interest within Urban and Regional Climate Transitions are:
- the role of urban and regional planning in sustainability transitions; new tools and approaches for strategic and transformative planning; new roles for planners
- social transformation and the role of knowledge and politics
- the governance of socio-technical change; building capacities for transformation
- the role of social movements, grassroots innovations or energy communities
- new instruments and strategies for urban transformative change - socio-technical experiments, system demonstrators, reflexive monitoring and evaluation, mission-oriented innovation policies
- critical analysis of the politics of transition; conflict, controversy and friction in transition processes; questions of justice, equality, democracy and marginalisation in sustainability transitions
Fields of interest within Interdisciplinary Medical Humanities and Bioethics are:
- Global health challenges;
- Interdisciplinary research across the humanities, the social sciences, and biomedicine;
- Interdisciplinary research in the medical humanities (including the social sciences), in bioethics or across medical humanities and bioethics;
- Critical analysis of knowledge production in health care practices and policy work;
- Creative research methods and art-research collaborations;
- Intersectional and gender approaches to contested illnesses;
- Medical humanities (including social sciences) or bioethical analyses of conditions that more commonly affect or are perceived to affect women;
- Medical humanities (including social sciences) or bioethical analyses of recovery, resilience, and health.
Your workplace will be at the Division of Technology and Social Change at Linkping University. Tema T is a nationally and internationally leading environment for research and education in how people create and use technology, and how technological change is interwoven with cultural patterns, everyday life, politics, ethics and economy.
If you are interested, please send us an email with your preferred period of stay and the track you would like to choose to fellowship.temat@liu.se and attach a CV and expression of interest, including plans for your stay, of up to three pages.
The application deadline for the coming calendar year 2026 is 15 October 2025. However, later applications can also be accepted on a rolling basis pending on the availability of funding.
We are looking forward to receiving your expressions of interest! Wed also be grateful if you could pass this information on to other potentially interested persons.
