The Faculty of Natural Sciences III, Institute of Geosciences and 
Geography, at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg is seeking a 
full-time (100%) (part time is possible)

*Research Associate (m-f-d) for a fixed term of 3 years starting 
01.10.2025. *

Dienst der Länder – 'German Public Service Pay Agreement for the Federal 
States').

The ERC Synergy project The Cultures of the Cryosphere. Infrastructures, 
Politics and Futures of Artificial Cooling (CultCryo) investigates the 
cultural preconditions and consequences of the use of artificial cold. 
With aglobally networked system of cold storage facilities, nitrogen 
tanks, cold chains, and air-conditioned spaces, the global use of 
cooling and freezing technologies enables modern life on both biological 
and social levels – for example, in the areas of food supply, medicine, 
air conditioning, and data processing. Despite its far-reaching 
socio-ecological impacts, the enormously energy-intensive planetary 
"cryosphere" has not yet been systematically researched. The 
interdisciplinary research project consists of several international 
research groups working in close cooperation. For more information, 
please visit: www.cryocultures.org

  * Developing and implementing the “Atlas of the Cryosphere”; an
    interactive online platform that promotes the research of the
    CultCryo project
  * Mapping and visualising geographies of artificial cooling

    partners in the fields of philosophy, social science, urban studies,
    history, geography, and computer science


*Requirements*:

  * Completed scientific university degree (Master’s degree) in
    geography, anthropology, design or related fields • PhD of advantage
    but not required
  * Very good English skills (C1 or higher) are required, knowledge of
    German is desirable
  * Experiences in geovisualization (GIS, digital mapping, data
    management, design)
  * Interest in science communication and transfer
  * Ability to work in a team

*We offer:*

  * Independent and collaborative research with a dynamic,
    international, professional team, with various opportunities to
    engage and include the public,
   *  attractive working conditions (home office, flexible working
    hours, and variable part-time models) Applications from disabled
    persons, including those of equal status (as certified by the
