Post doc position. human geography 887 views

CMI opens a call for three Post doc. Researchers with a background in socio-cultural anthropology, human geography or related discipline, and with expertise in the following regions: the Pacific, Africa, and China.

  1. Working in a research team within the ERC project “Transoceanic Fishers: Multiple Mobilities in and out of the South China Sea (TransOcean)” led by Senior Researcher Edyta Roszko (Principal Investigator), the three successful applicant will have an opportunity to develop their sub-projects, conduct ethnographic field research, contribute to spatial analysis, publications, and seminars, workshops and conferences.
  2. In recent years, China’s and Vietnam’s militarized and subsidized fishing fleets have begun to shift their radical marine harvesting techniques, and accompanying trade, from the South China Sea to Africa and Oceania.
  3. Scholarly analysis has largely assumed that fishers are instruments of their states’ geopolitical agendas, responding to regulations and incentives.
  4. This both obscures the actual motivations and modalities of fishers’ expansion of their fishing grounds and downplays the transoceanic networks connecting different fishers beyond state territories and localized fishing grounds in past and present
