Gender Studies – Center for Intercultural Dialogue

Postdoc in Gender Studies, Department of Thematic Studies, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden. Deadline: 9 September 2021.

The Department of Thematic Studies (TEMA) invites applications for a Postdoc in Gender Studies. The successful candidate is expected to carry out research, while the position may also involve teaching, but during no more than a fifth of work time. The present position involves research in the fields of gender studies, science and technology studies, and migration studies. The position is part of the project: Calculating migration: A multi-sited ethnography of algorithmic governance and redistribution keys which is a collaboration between TEMA, Gender Studies (LiU), REMESO (LiU) and the European New School of Digital Studies (Viadrina U). Using ethnographic methods, the project examines the production, implementation, and consequences of algorithms in relation to migration management. The Department is seeking a candidate who can expand the scope of the project on one or more of these fields.

LSE Fellow in Gender, Sexuality and Conflict, Gender Studies, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK. Deadline: 31 May 2019.

The Department of Gender Studies was established in 1993 to address the major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary changes in gender relations. This remains a central aim of the Department today, which is the largest research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. The Department is interested in mapping and intervening in the gendered nature of social processes, and believes that an integrated interdisciplinary and intersectional approach is needed to do so. In our research and teaching we aim to combine theory and practice with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective.

The department is looking to recruit a candidate at the level of LSE Fellow in Gender, Sexuality and Conflict to contribute to core courses in gender theories, sexuality studies and conflict studies across our MSc programmes. The core of the role will be teaching seminars, but they will also expect the successful candidate to deliver lectures across these courses where appropriate, and to supervise MSc dissertations.

Candidates should have been awarded a PhD in social sciences, humanities or a closely related field by the close of application; have relevant teaching experience at either UG or PG levels in the following areas: gender theories, sexuality and conflict studies; and have a very good knowledge as well as a developing research record in all three areas. Research expertise in the following areas are essential:
