strong interdisciplinary profile with qualifications in
history of technology, digital cartography or methods of
critical or collaborative mapping as well as a proven record

<b>Our project</b><br>
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 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
