PhD Researcher in Communities of Arms
6 dagen geleden
The Universiteit Utrecht is seeking a PhD researcher to join the ERC project, 'Making Sense of Communities of Arms'. This five-year project aims to establish a new research agenda that centralises the firearm as a sensational actant that shapes everyday practices and relations, creates divergent communities, and (re)produces power structures within local and global spheres.
The project will focus on an ethnographic analysis of the everyday deployment of firearms and their societal impact. It will examine and compare the various ways firearms produce communities and focus on groups that are overlooked in the field of gun studies, such as gun owners' associations and hunting clubs.
Research QuestionsThe project members are guided by the following research question: 'How do firearms produce communities, how do these communities relate to one another, and what is their societal impact?' This question will be answered through a comparative and multiscalar analysis of such communities and their members in Brazil, Germany, and South Africa, and global communities, such as international disarmament organisations.
MethodologyThe project will use a multisensorial ethnographic approach (and toolkit) that comprises ethnographic methods that explicitly target the senses. This approach will allow the researcher to explore the complex relationships between firearms, communities, and power structures.
RequirementsWe are looking for a motivated and collaborative researcher who has:
- an MA degree in anthropology or a related discipline;
- demonstrable relevant experience with ethnographic research, ideally in one of the locations (Brazil, Germany or South Africa);
- experience with multimodal anthropological methods (visual, sensorial, etc.) is appreciated;
- curiosity towards methodology and willing to experiment with new methods;
- well-developed analytical and writing skills;
- excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and one of the languages necessary to conduct the case study, such as Portuguese and German.
We offer a position for one year - after a positive evaluation, it will be extended for three more years. The researcher will be part of a dynamic team and will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project. The Universiteit Utrecht offers a stimulating work environment and a competitive salary.
