are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) with
expertise in cultural anthropology, critical urban
studies and/or science and technology studies. The ideal
candidate has strong qualifications in qualitative
empirical research as well as a proven record of
engaging with concepts and theories of technology,
urbanism and culture. The research will primarily
concentrate on ethnographies of urban politics of
artificial cold and local cultures of cooling as well as
on the history and theory of artificial atmospheres and
thermal governance. Fieldwork will require travel to
relevant urban sites around the globe and extended
periods for ethnographic work on-site.

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 a globally 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:
