Positions in the Frontlines of Value project at the Department of Social Anthropology

There is a vacancy for one or two Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions for 4 years and one or more temporary/part time Researchers within the program Frontlines: Class,Value, and Social Transformation in 21st Century Capitalism at the Department of Social Anthropology.

The Department of Social Anthropology is one of Europe’s largest in the discipline, currently with 15 professors and associate professors, 4 post-doctoral fellows and about 25 PhD candidates. Long-term research and fieldwork is carried out in most parts of the world, and several major research projects are based at the department, including an ERC Advanced Grant project on Egalitarianism. Further details can be found on the Department’s web pages, http://www.uib.no/antro/en. The department offers degree studies at the levels of Bachelor, Master and PhD.

About the Frontiers of Value project:

UiB has hired Professor Don Kalb to lead a new five-year elite-research program embedded within the Department of Social Anthropology. He will lead a small team of researchers that will study new and emergent class configurations within an ever more turbulent and unequal global capitalism and its emergent modes of value-generation, including the associated frictions, contradictions and contestations. For more information about the project Frontlines: Class, Value, and Social Transformation in 21stCentury Capitalism, please see the following link, http://www.uib.no/en/persons/Don.Kalb

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

About the position:

The postdocs are expected to plan and execute an ethnographic project of their own within a small team of researchers led by professor Don Kalb that study new and emergent class configurations within an ever more turbulent and unequal global capitalism and its emergent modes of value-generation, including the associated frictions, contradictions and contestations, http://www.uib.no/en/persons/Don.Kalb. Projects might focus on labour, precaritization, social reproduction, financialization, monopoly and rent-extraction, speculation, speculative urbanism etc, within an explicit and theorized concern with the evolving forms of capitalist value generation. One of the postdoc projects will probably be situated in China, another one may be located anywhere in the Global South, and we are also open to proposals that have their research focus on developments in Europe and the US.

Starting date: 1 September 2017 or soon after.
