Job: PhD Position / Assistantship in Social Anthropology (60%)

Institute of Social Anthropology, University of Basel

The Program of Social Anthropology at the University of Basel is searching for a doctoral fellow with a strong training in – and innovative ideas for – the theory and methods of socio-cultural anthropology.

Candidates' research and teaching must focus on sexuality, gender, and religion in their relationship to either (i) populism, fundamentalism, and/or the security state; (ii) new religious movements; or (iii) multimodal ethnographic methods (e.g., visual, sonic, and other methods). The area of specialization is open but special preference will be given to research projects that expand the existing regional foci of the program.

Application deadline: 10 June 2024.
