Post-doc in Data and Ethnography
4 weken geleden
Are you an emergent scholar interested in doing research in a creative team? Do you have a background in data work? Do you also have ethnographic experience or an ethnographic sensibility? This opportunity may be for you
The Department of Society Studies is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to undertake exciting research about hospital practices. You will be part of a new team doing research helping to address the escalating issue of clinical waste. The project is called The Upcycled Clinic: A global ethnography of material creativity in contemporary medicine (Make Do Medicine for short). The focus of this European Research Council funded project is on hospitals and clinics, which have become sites of disposability in recent years. Attempts to address this can be top-down and technocratic, often still reliant on a mode of further production. Make Do Medicine takes a different route into the problem. It focuses on creative practices already happening in the clinic, involving making the most of existing materials. You will be part of a team conducting research around the world where such improvisations are highlighted due to different constraints.
The project focuses on the unexplored yet potentially insightful practices of material creativity where existing materials are being repurposed for another use. The pandemic's disruptions offered the world’s scientists a fascinating natural experiment for looking at innovations in times of crisis and has important lessons for understanding the role of creative repurpose. But how to study this some years later?
The ambitious goal of this postdoc will be look further into the early period of the pandemic to draw lessons and insights from existing data and material gathered by other researchers in and about clinical settings. In your role you will first locate this data and then undertake a qualitative analysis of the material. Initially the research will involve working with datasets from Dutch settings, however this will likely expand to other countries. Methodologically the research means working with an ethnographic sensibility (see McGranahan 2018), where you will study these datasets curious about improvisations with materials, noticing details of the hospital practices. Data analysis can be enhanced through conducting interviews, object analysis and fieldwork where needed.
Relatedly, you will also work with the team to develop novel ways of reusing and sharing the project’s research material, that rethinks current research norms. Data reuse is common in some disciplines, but less so in the social sciences, especially ethnography. Ethnographic material is challenging to share with other team members and more broadly in ways which match current expectations of Open Science. One of the goals of this Post-Doc will be to contribute towards developing an approach to reusing and sharing ethnographic data that is not only ethical and legal, but also considers how creative and sensory methods might help make data more meaningful and contextualised for others.
You will work in a team environment led by the Principle Investigator (PI) (Professor Anna Harris), along with another post-doc, a PhD, a project manager and research assistants. You will also receive guidance with your work by an external advisor with expertise in big data and ethnography, Kathleen Gregory. Sharing research material and comparison with the other cases within this team environment will be part of the project.
As a postdoc on the project you will specifically be involved in:
- Finding relevant datasets, qualitative data analysis of this material and, as necessary, conducting additional interviews and fieldwork;
- Writing single-authored and co-authored publications;
- Compiling datasets and taking a leadership role in catalogue of findings, liaising with the Faculty Data Steward on project data management;
- Participating in and helping to organise group meetings, events and workshops;
- Optional: teaching 0.1 - 0.2 fte such as tutoring in Bachelor courses and/or Bachelor or Masters theses supervision.
Thus in this role you will have the opportunity to develop further in ethnographic skills, writing and teamwork and have access to further trainings as necessary and according to interest. There is also the option to undertake, if desired, teacher training and take Dutch language classes.
In sum, you will be able to do a post-doc project with considerable scope for creativity, in an exciting team project with inspiring colleagues conducting cutting edge research. You will be conducting research with the potential for significant societal impact in relation to sustainability in healthcare, while working on furthering and strengthening the role of open science and FAIR principles in ethnographic research.
