[News] PhD position for a feminist geographer in Zurich

[Karin Schwiter]

Dear feminist geographers

We have a PhD position<https://www.geo.uzh.ch/en/services/open-positions.html> on offer in my labour geography group at the University of Zurich as part of our new project Public Data Lab<https://publicdatalab.ch/>. We’re looking for a person interested in researching old and new forms of precarious labour in Switzerland using qualitative methodologies.

Our group works with feminist methodologies. Thus, applications from feminist geographers are very welcome!

Please help us share the news and encourage them to apply!

Thank you and best wishes,
Karin
