Announcement – New PhD Position. We are happy to offer a 3-4 year salaried and funded PhD position for a new Norwegian Research Council-funded project, ‘Epidemic Traces’, based at the University of Oslo.
Epidemic Traces examines the remains, legacies and transformations of long-run epidemic disease control measures in five African countries, and their implications in the present across a number of themes: ecologies and human landscapes; chemical residues; borders and containment, infrastructures of vaccination and immunity; and the social collectives produced by epidemics and their control. The project uses anthropological and historical methods, in collaboration with researchers across several fields in the natural and social sciences.
