The position A PhD position is available at the Department of Technology and Safety (ITS), Faculty of Science and Technology for candidates interested in technology, natural hazards, and the lived experience of communities. This position offers the opportunity for a candidate to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) working as part of a project funded by the Faculty of Science and Technology. The position is for a period of four years. The nominal length of the PhD programme is three years. The fourth year is distributed as 25 % each year and will consist of teaching and other duties. The objective of the position is to complete research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to the PhD programme is a prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position. ITS is organized under the Faculty of Science and Technology and is located at three campuses: Tromsø, Bardufoss and Harstad. The department has approximately 90 employees and approximately 600 students. It offers undergraduate, master, and PhD programs as well as research in the areas of nautical science, aviation, societal safety, environment, and international preparedness. The workplace is at UiT in Tromsø. You must be able to start in the position within a reasonable time after receiving the offer. The project / The position’s field of research This PhD position is funded by the Faculty of Science and Technology (NT Faculty) to pursue cutting-edge research aligned with the Faculty Strategy. One of the key strategic priorities for the NT Faculty is the development of knowledge aimed at resolving critical societal challenges, particularly those related to natural hazards, technology, and the environment in the Arctic and beyond. In Norway, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) continuously monitors numerous sites that pose a high risk of rock avalanches. In this context, technology plays a pivotal role in the everyday lives of exposed communities and is central to guaranteeing their safety. While there exists a considerable body of knowledge on the technical aspects of monitoring equipment, there is a research gap concerning how this knowledge production takes place in practice and what its social implications are once it is disclosed to exposed communities. The SlowRisk project will address this gap, with special attention to how instrumentation mediates our relationship to the world. The project takes as its starting point the idea that instrumentation in the context of disaster risk and high-visibility early warning systems (EWS) reveals the world anew and is therefore both a generative and a revelatory force in the social realm. The candidate is invited to formulate a proposal that zooms in on one or more aspects of the social lives of catastrophic scenarios and prognoses, and how these travel, or are represented, produced, perceived, negotiated, denied, amongst other dynamics. Cases may be based on Norwegian sites continuously monitored by NVE, or on comparable cases globally, including in more resource-constrained settings. More specifically, of key interest is the interface between technical knowledge production and everyday life in communities at risk. The candidate is expected to propose a research approach that engages with the project theme and to work closely not only with communities at the proposed research sites but also with technical experts, including scientists, technicians, modelers, and municipal planners. The project draws on phenomenological perspectives, including post-phenomenology, but relevant perspectives also include science and technology studies (STS), social studies of science, sociology of knowledge, philosophy of technology, as well as perspectives from risk science, geography, and anthropology. In particular, the project invites an “instrumental realist” approach, which takes the mediating role of instrumentation seriously in considering the lived experience of disaster risk. The candidate is also expected to collaborate on research design, data collection and analysis, co-author scientific papers, and represent the institution at relevant conferences and workshops. The applicants must present a description outlining the academic basis of the PhD project. The project description shall not exceed five pages, literature references included. It must include a description of the topic, the suggested theoretical approach, the research question(s), and the reasoning behind these choices, including the selection of cases (particularly if new cases are proposed, the role of instrumentation or technology must be specified). The proposal should also indicate the methodologies to be employed. The final project description will be developed in cooperation with the supervisor team after the position has been assumed. Want to know more about the position? About For further information about the project scope and objectives, or for further information about the position, please contact associate professor Reidar Staupe: email: Reidar.staupe@uit.no Qualifications The candidate must have completed a master’s degree or equivalent in one of the following or related fields, before commencement in the position: Master’s degree in societal security, risk management, geography, sociology, anthropology, science and technology studies (STS), environmental studies, global development studies, philosophy of technology, or related fields.
