Outstanding scholars beyond the postdoc phase of their careers are invited to
apply for participation in the working groups:
-„The Art of Judgement“, in particular
projects that connect the history of judgments in planning with current
concerns about the different dimensions of global change.
- “The
Body of Animals”, in particular projects that focus on animals' bodies and
materiality, or consider animals in relation to
commodification, technology, or the environment.
Applications from candidates in every field involved with issues
relevant to the history of science and technology are welcome, with some
preference for projects looking at cases from Asia, Africa, or Latin America,
or adopting a global perspective. The MPIWG hosts many academic
activities: conferences, workshops, brown bag seminars and colloquia. Visiting
scholars are encouraged to combine their research stay with active
participation in such events.
Applications may be submitted in German, English, Chinese or French.
Candidates of all nationalities are encouraged to apply; applications from
