#postdoc #STS #Germany TU Munich, STS Department Postdoctoral Researcher in Ethnographic Science and Technology Studies (TV-L E13, 6-year contract (2+4)) Our group – Ссылка скрыта – pursues three routes of inquiry: first and foremost, we are working on an empirically grounded understanding of ‘green chemistry’ in Germany and beyond as an emerging field of science, industry, and regulation; second, we use ‘green chemistry’ as an example for inquiring into the ways late industrial societies inhabit bodies and environments at the level of molecular structure; third, we reflect more broadly whether ‘the Anthropocene’ requires scientific practices and knowledges beyond the Western modern notion of ‘progress’, and what this might mean for molecular, legal, and economic design. We are looking to recruit someone with a longer-term perspective who adds to the diversity of our group and has an interest in jointly shaping our profile in Munich and internationally. We are thus very open regarding the profile of a successful applicant and are not looking to fill a clearly defined gap. An excellent PhD and experience in empirical research are vital. Experience in relevant research fields of chemistry, the life sciences, law and regulation, industry and markets, or broader questions of political economy are desirable. We also, however, value applications by scholars who can relate to these fields without actually having worked in them. We welcome a broad spectrum of epistemologies and methods.
