One-year post-doctoral position “Rurality and social sciences”, École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), Paris, France
Closing date for applications: 31 March 2020
This post-doctoral position draws its inspiration from the observation of a significant renewal of works on rurality in the social sciences. It is open to all cultural areas and approaches. The project may address the important issues of defining rurality in its spatial, statistical, or social configurations. Proposals may deal with socialization processes, as well as the place of young people entering the labor market without having completed higher education and seeking social advancement through the accumulation of economic capital (craftsmen, small business owners, self-employed people, etc.). The research may reflect on the place of the school system in the definition of life ages, gender dynamics, cultural practices, migration, or political dynamics.
The EHESS is offering a total of 10 one-year post-doctoral positions. Gross monthly salary: 2365 €
We are recruiting researchers who study the following topics:
1/Environment in Asia
