DOCTORAL STUDENT, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
The University of Helsinki – among the best in the world
Founded in 1640, the University of Helsinki is one of the best multidisciplinary research universities in the world. The University of Helsinki is an international academic community of 40,000 students and staff members. It operates on four campuses in Helsinki and at 15 other locations. The high-quality research carried out by the university creates new knowledge for educating diverse specialists in various fields, and for utilisation in social decision-making and the business sector.
The Department of Social Research is a multidisciplinary unit operating at the Faculty of Social Sciences that offers teaching in seven disciplines: social and cultural anthropology, social psychology, social work, sociology, statistics, media and communication studies, as well as social and public policy. The number of major subject students is about 2,300, of whom 360 are pursuing a postgraduate degree. Each year an average of 170 Bachelor’s degrees, 200 Master’s degrees and 26 doctorates are completed at the Department.
The Department of Social Research invites applications for the position of
DOCTORAL STUDENT
for a fixed term from 1.1.2017 to 30.4.2020. The field of the position is Social and Cultural Anthropology and it relates to the Doctoral Programme in Social Sciences. Social and Cultural Anthropology is a small but vibrant unit with two professors, three university lecturers and 16 researchers and PhD students.
The position exists within an Academy of Finland-funded project entitled “The Morality of Success among the Emerging Black Middle Class in South Africa”. This project investigates the aims, practices and moral values of different segments of the emerging Black middle class in South Africa. It contributes to two main bodies of scholarly literature: the social scientific research on the values of the Black middle class and the anthropological research on morality. The project employs one (already identified) post-doctoral researcher in addition to the PhD student to be selected through this call.
The successful candidate will be required to undertake the collection of research material in South Africa and the writing of a PhD dissertation based upon this material. We are seeking a candidate with specialization and a proven track record in anthropology, and with some research experience in South Africa. The prospective PhD student is expected to conduct comparative research on the practices and values of entrepreneurs and employed persons who belong to the new or the emerging Black middle class. The site of the empirical research is preferably (although not necessarily) the Johannesburg region. The time reserved for field work in South Africa is 10-12 months. In addition to conducting research and completing his/her postgraduate studies and the PhD Thesis, the doctoral student is expected to participate in the teaching of anthropology. The selected student is to affiliate herself/himself with the unit of Anthropology and the Doctoral Program of Social Sciences and, with the exception of fieldwork and holiday periods, will be required to reside in the Helsinki area for the duration of the project. The working language of the project will be English.
The duties of a doctoral student are the completion of his or her postgraduate studies, including the doctoral thesis. The duties also include part-time teaching and other tasks.
A doctoral student applicant must hold a Master’s degree and have a research proposal submitted with the application. Other requirements include demonstrated ability and motivation, to pursue postgraduate studies and a doctoral degree according to the approved study plan and research proposal.
The University of Helsinki offers a salary dependent on qualifications and work experience. The salary is based on levels 2–4 of the job requirement scheme for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee shall be paid a salary component based on personal work performance. The salary is EUR 2180–3100 per month, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and work experience. The appointment starts with a probationary period of four months.
Applications must be accompanied by the following documents:
- Research plan including most relevant references (maximum length: 5 pages);

ASSISTANT PROFESSORSHIPS, POSTDOCS AND PHD FELLOWSHIPS - "USES OF LITERATURE: THE SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF LITERATURE"
The University of Southern Denmark announces a number of assistant professorships, postdocs, and PhD fellowships related to Professor Rita Felski’s appointment as a Niels Bohr professor for the period 2016-2021 and the research project Uses of Literature: The Social Dimensions of Literature. The project is financed by Danish National Research Foundation.
The goal of this project is to develop new frameworks and methods for exploring the many social uses of literature. Drawing on both the humanities and social sciences, it seeks to offer richer and more capacious accounts of what literature does and why it matters. How do we capture the distinctiveness and dynamism of art works as they move through the world? How can we do justice to the varied and often unpredictable ways in which people engage with literature and the many facets of aesthetic experience? In what ways do literary works inspire attachments, forge affiliations, or help people make sense of new social realities? Topics to be addressed include the relations between literature and the emotions, new forms of literary history, the field of narrative medicine, how literature speaks to changing structures of social class, and the relations between fictional and non-fictional narratives. The focus of the program is on comparative literature, literature in English, German, and Scandinavian literature.
Successful applicants will become part of a dynamic, international and cross-disciplinary research group under the academic leadership of Professor Rita Felski (University of Virginia & University of Southern Denmark) and Professor Anne-Marie Mai (University of Southern Denmark) in cooperation with Professor Peter Simonsen and Professor Klaus Petersen (University of Southern Denmark).

GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS / ГРАНТЫ И СТИПЕНДИИ

TRANSREGIONAL RESEARCH JUNIOR SCHOLAR FELLOWSHIP
InterAsian Contexts and Connections
&
Global Summer Semester Residency
at the University of Göttingen
Applications due September 19, 2016
The Social Science Research Council is pleased to invite preliminary applications for its recently expanded and enhanced Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship, funded with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Following on three successful grants cycles, through which more than fifty individual fellowships totaling nearly 2 million USD have been awarded, the SSRC is continuing its transregional grants program, offering a 2016 Junior Scholar grants competition and awarding approximately twenty grants of up to $45,000 to researchers in any world region.
In addition, working closely with the CETREN Transregional Research Network at the University of Göttingen in Germany, the SSRC is pleased to offer a new category of fellowship in 2016 – the SSRC Global Summer Semester Residency at the University of Göttingen (residency dates April 15, 2017–July 15, 2017). Note: this award is subject to final grant approval from the German Ministry of Education and Research.
These fellowships are aimed at supporting transregional research, strengthening the understanding of issues and geographies that do not fit neatly into existing divisions of academia or the world, and developing new approaches, practices, and opportunities in international, regional, and area studies. These fellowships help junior scholars (those at the postdoctoral stage, up to five years out of the PhD) complete first books and/or undertake second projects. In addition to funding research, the fellowships will create networks and shared resources that will support fellows well beyond the grant period through intensive workshops and activities that promote transregional perspectives on individual campuses. The Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship and Global Summer Semester Residency will thus provide promising scholars support at critical junctures in their careers, advance transregional research, and establish structures for linking scholars across disciplines in the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences.
The broad intellectual thrust of the fellowships will continue to be InterAsian Contexts and Connections, or the reconceptualization of Asia as an interlinked historical and geographic formation stretching from West Asia through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast Asia and East Asia. In addition, applications that explore the networks that connect Asia with Africa are encouraged for the 2016 awards cycle. Proposals should bear upon processes that connect places and peoples across the boundaries of regions and countries (such as religion, migration/diaspora, media, literature and other arts, shared access to natural resources, cultural and economic continua, and resource flows), those that reconfigure local and translocal contexts (such as shifting borders, urbanization, and social movements), and those that are situated at the nexus of the global/regional/local (such as youth culture, tourist arts, illicit flows).
Invitational priorities for the 2016–2017 Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship include:
· Afro-Asian Connections
· Environmental Humanities
· Religious Networks
· Migration & Refugees
· Resources & Archives
This does not preclude proposals on other topics.
Invitational priorities for the 2017 Global Summer Semester Residencies include:
· Movements of Knowledge
· Media, Migration, and the Moving Political
· Religious Networks
This does not preclude proposals on other topics that engage with existing research expertise at the University of Göttingen.
Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellows will be selected through a two-part application process. Upon review of the preliminary applications submitted in September, the Selection Committee will invite select applicants to submit full narrative proposals in fall 2016. Fellowships will be awarded in spring 2017, and fellowship funds can be disbursed flexibly over the sixteen month period between April 1, 2017 and August 1, 2018.
Global Summer Semester Residency fellowships will be awarded in fall 2016.
The application processes, eligibility criteria, and award amounts vary across competitions. Applications and additional fellowship details, including former fellows’ research abstracts and answers to frequently asked questions, are available on the program website at:

DOCTORAL STUDENT, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
The University of Helsinki – among the best in the world
Founded in 1640, the University of Helsinki is one of the best multidisciplinary research universities in the world. The University of Helsinki is an international academic community of 40,000 students and staff members. It operates on four campuses in Helsinki and at 15 other locations. The high-quality research carried out by the university creates new knowledge for educating diverse specialists in various fields, and for utilisation in social decision-making and the business sector.
The Department of Social Research is a multidisciplinary unit operating at the Faculty of Social Sciences that offers teaching in seven disciplines: social and cultural anthropology, social psychology, social work, sociology, statistics, media and communication studies, as well as social and public policy. The number of major subject students is about 2,300, of whom 360 are pursuing a postgraduate degree. Each year an average of 170 Bachelor’s degrees, 200 Master’s degrees and 26 doctorates are completed at the Department.
The Department of Social Research invites applications for the position of

Social and Cultural Anthropology is a small but vibrant unit with two professors, three university lecturers and 16 researchers and PhD students.
The position exists within an Academy of Finland-funded project entitled “The Morality of Success among the Emerging Black Middle Class in South Africa”. This project investigates the aims, practices and moral values of different segments of the emerging Black middle class in South Africa. It contributes to two main bodies of scholarly literature: the social scientific research on the values of the Black middle class and the anthropological research on morality. The project employs one (already identified) post-doctoral researcher in addition to the PhD student to be selected through this call.
The successful candidate will be required to undertake the collection of research material in South Africa and the writing of a PhD dissertation based upon this material. We are seeking a candidate with specialization and a proven track record in anthropology, and with some research experience in South Africa. The prospective PhD student is expected to conduct comparative research on the practices and values of entrepreneurs and employed persons who belong to the new or the emerging Black middle class. The site of the empirical research is preferably (although not necessarily) the Johannesburg region. The time reserved for field work in South Africa is 10-12 months. In addition to conducting research and completing his/her postgraduate studies and the PhD Thesis, the doctoral student is expected to participate in the teaching of anthropology. The selected student is to affiliate herself/himself with the unit of Anthropology and the Doctoral Program of Social Sciences and, with the exception of fieldwork and holiday periods, will be required to reside in the Helsinki area for the duration of the project. The working language of the project will be English.
The duties of a doctoral student are the completion of his or her postgraduate studies, including the doctoral thesis. The duties also include part-time teaching and other tasks.
A doctoral student applicant must hold a Master’s degree and have a research proposal submitted with the application. Other requirements include demonstrated ability and motivation, to pursue postgraduate studies and a doctoral degree according to the approved study plan and research proposal.
The University of Helsinki offers a salary dependent on qualifications and work experience. The salary is based on levels 2–4 of the job requirement scheme for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee shall be paid a salary component based on personal work performance. The salary is EUR 2180–3100 per month, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and work experience. The appointment starts with a probationary period of four months.
Applications must be accompanied by the following documents:
- Research plan including most relevant references (maximum length: 5 pages);

ASSISTANT PROFESSORSHIPS, POSTDOCS AND PHD FELLOWSHIPS - "USES OF LITERATURE: THE SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF LITERATURE"
The University of Southern Denmark announces a number of assistant professorships, postdocs, and PhD fellowships related to Professor Rita Felski’s appointment as a Niels Bohr professor for the period 2016-2021 and the research project Uses of Literature: The Social Dimensions of Literature. The project is financed by Danish National Research Foundation.
The goal of this project is to develop new frameworks and methods for exploring the many social uses of literature. Drawing on both the humanities and social sciences, it seeks to offer richer and more capacious accounts of what literature does and why it matters. How do we capture the distinctiveness and dynamism of art works as they move through the world? How can we do justice to the varied and often unpredictable ways in which people engage with literature and the many facets of aesthetic experience? In what ways do literary works inspire attachments, forge affiliations, or help people make sense of new social realities? Topics to be addressed include the relations between literature and the emotions, new forms of literary history, the field of narrative medicine, how literature speaks to changing structures of social class, and the relations between fictional and non-fictional narratives. The focus of the program is on comparative literature, literature in English, German, and Scandinavian literature.
Successful applicants will become part of a dynamic, international and cross-disciplinary research group under the academic leadership of Professor Rita Felski (University of Virginia & University of Southern Denmark) and Professor Anne-Marie Mai (University of Southern Denmark) in cooperation with Professor Peter Simonsen and Professor Klaus Petersen (University of Southern Denmark). The working language of the project is English and applicants are expected to participate actively in seminars and workshops in the project. Applicants are expected to outline an individual research plan within the framework of the overall program Uses of Literature.

TRANSREGIONAL RESEARCH JUNIOR SCHOLAR FELLOWSHIP
InterAsian Contexts and Connections
&
Global Summer Semester Residency
at the University of Göttingen
Applications due September 19, 2016
The Social Science Research Council is pleased to invite preliminary applications for its recently expanded and enhanced Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship, funded with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Following on three successful grants cycles, through which more than fifty individual fellowships totaling nearly 2 million USD have been awarded, the SSRC is continuing its transregional grants program, offering a 2016 Junior Scholar grants competition and awarding approximately twenty grants of up to $45,000 to researchers in any world region.
In addition, working closely with the CETREN Transregional Research Network at the University of Göttingen in Germany, the SSRC is pleased to offer a new category of fellowship in 2016 – the SSRC Global Summer Semester Residency at the University of Göttingen (residency dates April 15, 2017–July 15, 2017). Note: this award is subject to final grant approval from the German Ministry of Education and Research.
These fellowships are aimed at supporting transregional research, strengthening the understanding of issues and geographies that do not fit neatly into existing divisions of academia or the world, and developing new approaches, practices, and opportunities in international, regional, and area studies. These fellowships help junior scholars (those at the postdoctoral stage, up to five years out of the PhD) complete first books and/or undertake second projects. In addition to funding research, the fellowships will create networks and shared resources that will support fellows well beyond the grant period through intensive workshops and activities that promote transregional perspectives on individual campuses. The Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship and Global Summer Semester Residency will thus provide promising scholars support at critical junctures in their careers, advance transregional research, and establish structures for linking scholars across disciplines in the arts, the humanities, and the social sciences.
The broad intellectual thrust of the fellowships will continue to be InterAsian Contexts and Connections, or the reconceptualization of Asia as an interlinked historical and geographic formation stretching from West Asia through Eurasia, Central Asia, and South Asia to Southeast Asia and East Asia. In addition, applications that explore the networks that connect Asia with Africa are encouraged for the 2016 awards cycle. Proposals should bear upon processes that connect places and peoples across the boundaries of regions and countries (such as religion, migration/diaspora, media, literature and other arts, shared access to natural resources, cultural and economic continua, and resource flows), those that reconfigure local and translocal contexts (such as shifting borders, urbanization, and social movements), and those that are situated at the nexus of the global/regional/local (such as youth culture, tourist arts, illicit flows).
Invitational priorities for the 2016–2017 Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellowship include:
· Afro-Asian Connections
· Environmental Humanities
· Religious Networks
· Migration & Refugees
· Resources & Archives
This does not preclude proposals on other topics.
Invitational priorities for the 2017 Global Summer Semester Residencies include:
· Movements of Knowledge
· Media, Migration, and the Moving Political
· Religious Networks
This does not preclude proposals on other topics that engage with existing research expertise at the University of Göttingen.
Transregional Research Junior Scholar Fellows will be selected through a two-part application process. Upon review of the preliminary applications submitted in September, the Selection Committee will invite select applicants to submit full narrative proposals in fall 2016. Fellowships will be awarded in spring 2017, and fellowship funds can be disbursed flexibly over the sixteen month period between April 1, 2017 and August 1, 2018.
Global Summer Semester Residency fellowships will be awarded in fall 2016.
The application processes, eligibility criteria, and award amounts vary across competitions. Applications and additional fellowship details, including former fellows’ research abstracts and answers to frequently asked questions, are available on the program website at:
