About the Position

We are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position 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? Understanding and redefining just sustainability transformations from disability and queer perspectives" (WEIRD). The researcher will be responsible for conducting empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of environmental sustainability and disability studies.

About the Project

The project seeks to foreground and leverage disability and queer perspectives around environmental sustainability, challenging traditional notions of sustainability and exploring new theories, methodologies, and ethics of just and emancipatory sustainability transformations. We aim to empower marginalized groups and promote inclusive and sustainable futures.

Main Responsibilities
  • Conduct research in the disability track of WEIRD, including scope, mapping, and collecting initiatives at the disability-environmental intersection globally.
  • Coordinate synergies with the queer track of the project, analyzing and interpreting the discourses, practices, and narratives surrounding disability and environmental justice.
  • Develop an Atlas of disability (and queer) environmental initiatives globally.
Benefits

The University of Helsinki offers a competitive salary, standard Finnish pension benefits, and occupational health care. The employment contract will include a probationary period of six months.
