Job Summary

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team at the University of Helsinki. The successful candidate will be part of an ERC Consolidator Grant awarded to Associate Professor Guido Caniglia (Principal Investigator) for the project: "Whose sustainability?

The researcher will engage actively and creatively with the complex interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary design of the project, conducting empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of environmental sustainability and disability studies.

About the Project

  2. Scope, map, and collect initiatives at the disability-environmental intersection globally for the development of an Atlas of disability (and queer) environmental initiatives.
  3. Analyze and interpret the discourses, practices, and narratives that are being developed around the intersection of disability and environmental justice and action.
Required Qualifications and Skills
  • A doctoral degree with a focus on disability studies, in the environmental humanities or in the environmental social sciences.
  • A strong motivation to develop their profile at the intersection of disability and environmental studies.
  • Excellent skills in working with qualitative methods and mixed methods.
  • Capacity to work collaboratively in a diverse and interdisciplinary research group.
  • Ethical sensitivity and competence to work with vulnerable populations and minorities.
