2 Doctoral positions in Latin and Greek Literature(1+3 years, SNSF Project 'CITE')The Department of Ancient Civilizations is home to all disciplines within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences concerned with the ancient world (archaeology, history, literature). The Department invites applications for 2 Doctoral research positions in Latin and Greek Literature in the framework of the SNSF-funded research project CITE: Citation, Indirect Transmission, Exegesis.

Comprising six case studies which together capture central forms of ancient reading practice across the full spectrum of literary, philosophical and technical writing, CITE seeks to contribute to our understanding of how ancient theories of reading and interpretation are applied and how they can be situated on a continuum of reading practices across interpretative and linguistic communities and entrenched boundaries of genre, language and discipline.

2 PhD positions in Sustainability Research, focus on sustainable agri-food system governance 100%01.03.2025The Sustainability Research Group at the University of Basel, led by Prof. Dr. Janina Grabs, is looking for two PhD researchers to investigate the governance of sustainable agri-food systems, with a particular focus on the implementation of mandatory sustainability legislation in tropical agri-food commodity chains, in the framework of the SNF-funded Starting Grant Project EXPECT-AGRI. The project EXPECT-AGRI The production of agricultural commodities such as coffee, cocoa, or palm oil is associated with deforestation, forced and child labor, and smallholder poverty. European governments currently aim to address these challenges via the introduction of mandatory supply chain sustainability legislation such as due diligence regulations and import restrictions.This five-year research project aims to examine the impact of such sustainability laws in the supply chains of coffee, cocoa and palm oil. What expectations do these laws create between the regulatory authorities and the companies that trade in these commodities? And how do these expectations in turn influence the shift towards more sustainable agriculture? The project will examine these questions via a combination of qualitative (e.g. expert interviews, Q-methodology, case study analysis) and quantitative (e.g. company surveys) research, including fieldwork in commodity-producing countries.Your positionAs part of EXPECT-AGRI, the successful candidates will conduct longitudinal, qualitative research on policy implementation in three tropical agri-food commodity sectors (coffee, cocoa, and palm oil). One PhD candidate will focus on fieldwork in Colombia, and the other one will work in Côte d'Ivoire. You will further collaborate with postdoctoral researchers and mentor Master's students in the context of the project. The candidates will pursue a PhD degree in Sustainability Research and be enrolled in the University of Basel's Graduate School of Social Sciences.

PhD position on artificial photosynthesis at sub-zero temperatures within cryo-protective lipidic mesophase nanoconfinement (P2406) 100%position for 4 years, earliest starting date: 1 January 2025The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) at the University of Basel invites highly motivatedscientists to apply for the SNI PhD programme in Nanoscience and to join the exciting joint project between the University of Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute.Your positionPhotosynthesis is a critical process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and transforms it into organic matter, which forms the primary source of the Earth's biomass and energy storage. However, in polar regions and during winters, the natural photosynthetic activity ceases due to the low temperature. This project aims to develop an unfrozen artificial photosynthetic platform using nanoconfinement to keep water liquid and enable CO2 fixation at sub-zero temperatures. Lipidic mesophases have proven effective for other enzymatic reactions down to -20 °C. Utilizing this platform, we will incorporate thylakoid membranes from pea plants, containing all necessary enzymes for photosynthesis. The efficiency of this nano-platform at low temperatures will be tested by measuring the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Combination of techniques such as small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) will be employed to analyse nanoscale self-assembly and the impact of molecular dynamics on photosynthetic efficiency at low temperatures.Your profileFor this project, we are seeking a candidate with a strong scientific background and a Master's degree in any field relevant for the project.We offer youExcellent scientific and social environmentVery competitive employment conditionsMembership in a very supportive and recognised communityThe successful candidate will become a member of a very active research group and of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) PhD school with ~30 currently supported scientists.

Postdoctoral Researcher (FTE)100%, 01.04.2025The University of Basel, Switzerland, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher (100% FTE) for the project Aspirational Urbanism and the Recodification of Defiance (ASPIRA) The function of a blank sheet of A4 paper in a context of censorship reflects the need to recognize new forms of defiance. As speech is being monitored through different technologies and in a range of arenas from the public square to social media and across university campuses, defiance takes new forms of symbolic critique. In the project ?Aspirational Urbanism and the Recodification of Defiance (ASPIRA)", recognizing defiance contributes to the aim of conceptualizing aspirational urbanism as a way of understanding the function of alterity (alternative futures, speculative possibilities) in shaping cities. Rather than explaining urban change in Hong Kong and Taipei exclusively in terms of tiger economics or the developmentalist state, beyond techno-positivism and growth machine dogmas, ASPIRA recognizes defiance as the agency of urban residents in contesting perceived inevitabilities. The project builds on theoretical work on urban futures, understanding cities as sites for planning, imagining and representing futures. It also recognizes the unequal capacities and risks involved, highlighting the ?cruel" ascriptions to optimism and the potentially devastating consequences of aspiration. ASPIRA's approach identifying defiance by centering on visual analysis grounds aspirational urbanism, rescaling the object of urban theory towards everyday micro-practices.Your positionWork as full-time postdoctoral researcher for the Swiss National Science Foundation Starting Grant project Aspirational Urbanism and the Recodification of Defiance (ASPIRA), led by Prof. Dr. Julie RenCollaborate and conduct research within team (with PI and PhD) and independentlyIncludes outreach, source mapping, developing methods, field research in Hong Kong and Taipei, analysis of materials (coding/CDA)Present research at international conferences; co-organize project symposia and final exhibitionCo-author and single author peer-reviewed publicationsYour profilePhD with an urban studies focus in urban or cultural geography/ anthropology/ sociology, media studies, gender studies or a related fieldRegional expertise conducting research in Hong Kong and/or TaipeiQualitative research experience employing archival, visual, digital and/or creative methodsStrong analytical skills and record of high-quality publication outputLanguages: Fluency in both spoken and written Mandarin and English (ideally also Cantonese)We offer you4-year 100% postdoctoral researcher position with Swiss salary to begin on 1 April 2025, hosted by the Urban Studies unit in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Basel, SwitzerlandResearch travel and conference budgetIf desired, teaching and lecturing experienceCollaborative, small team committed to your career development with a healthy work-life balanceFully equipped workplace in the center of Basel near the university campus
