Basel, Basel-Stadt, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

The Centre for African Studies at the Universität Basel is seeking a talented and motivated PhD researcher to join their dynamic team. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct research on private nature conservation and residential eco-estates in Namibia, with the option of comparative projects situating Namibia within southern Africa.

As a member of the SNSF Starting Grant Project: 'Curated Escapes and Derelict Landscapes in Times of Climate Change', the researcher will contribute to a stimulating, engaged, diverse, and interdisciplinary academic environment. The project explores how ecological shifts create landscapes that are becoming uninhabitable and examines how these landscapes are shaped by colonial histories, racialised ideologies, and capitalist practices.

The researcher's appointment should begin on September 1st (a later start date is possible) and will be limited to 1 year with the option of a 3-year extension after a successful evaluation. Key responsibilities include developing and executing a PhD project, collaborating closely with the project team, and contributing to research, publication, and dissemination activities.

The ideal candidate will possess an excellent Master's degree in African Studies, History, Human Geography, or related disciplines. Strong English language skills, knowledge of other (southern) African languages and/or German is an advantage. A strong interest in southern Africa's environmental history and political ecology, as well as in questions of global inequalities, colonial legacies, and the intersections between capitalism and climate change, is essential.

We offer a fully funded PhD position in accordance with the regulations of the Universität Basel. This includes the opportunity to develop and conduct your project independently while being closely supported by the PI and the team. You will also become part of a close-knit project team and benefit from conference attendance and publication opportunities.
