Exciting job opportunities with our colleagues at Tema Teknik:

We are very happy to announce two open positions in Technology and Social Change at Linköping University, Sweden: one Assistant Professor (tenure track) and one PhD candidate (4 years fully funded).

Both positions are linked to the establishment of a new research area: Nuclear Futures, focusing on cultural, environmental, sociotechnical, and political issues related to nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and nuclear waste, and we foresee the additional recruitment of a postdoctoral scholar to the Nuclear Futures research area during 2026. Relevant educational backgrounds for the position include, among others, human geography, environmental humanities, science and technology studies, ethnology, anthropology, history of ideas, urban and regional planning, futures studies, or related fields.

The successful applicants will have considerable freedom to shape the research area, but possible research directions include humanities and social science perspectives on the establishment of new uranium mining, emerging technologies in nuclear power, deep time horizons in relation to long-lived radioactive waste, and civil society engagement in nuclear issues.



Application deadline: Monday 1 Dec 2025

Back in September we had an honour to join the 6th edition of Taboo-Transgression-Transcendence in Art & Science (TTT) international conference held - this time - at Kino Šiška in Ljubljana, SI, on 9-13 Sept.

Since 2016, the event has been organised by Ionian University Department of Audio & Visual Arts (Corfu, Greece). TTT is also member of the Feral Labs Network and the Rewilding Cultures cooperation programme, co-funded by the European Union.

It is a delight to read this fantastic correspondence written by Chrysa Chouliara, the 2025 Makery - English summer chronicler-in-residency for the Rewilding Cultures programme. Especially since the text features the work of EBL's director, Dr Marietta Radomska.

Enjoy the read💀🖤🔥

Gentle reminder about this wonderful event organised by Research Centre, Visual Identities in Art and Design

In many languages there is only one word to describe the concept of life in all of its manifestations. This poverty of languages might limit the ways human culture can relate to the growing knowledge about different aspects of life (sciences), and even more importantly it can impact the directions this newfound knowledge can be employed. Some of the most radical shifts in our understanding of the concept of life happen in labs by mission driven researchers in confined epistemological silos and tend to be culturally analysed by other researchers with no firsthand and direct experience of the actualities and impacts of research on life itself.

If you would like to join us online or in person, please RSVP here: https://forms.gle/zhorRGVMyaegdmpU9

Please note that RSVPs are essential.

It is our great pleasure to share with you an announcement about the upcoming PhD course on Feminist Posthumanism and New Materialism (7,5 ECTS) organised by Gender Academy Research School at Stockholm University.

Please, check for details below:

See link: https://www.su.se/gender-academy/about-the-gender-academy/feminist-posthumanism-and-new-materialism-7-5-credits-1.825387

Feminist Posthumanism and New Materialism are fields within the humanities and the social sciences that are becoming increasingly important for understanding the anthropocentric world, its more-than-human relationships, and rethinking of bodies, arts and social meaning.
This course provides an introduction to the field of feminist posthumanism and new materialism, with a deeper exploration of its epistemological, ethical, and relational ontological approaches within a feminist theoretical context. The course highlights both points of divergence and interdisciplinary considerations within the field.
Throughout the course, discussions focus on posthumanism’s critical perspective on the anthropocentric and binary traditions of Western knowledge, its constructions of time and subjectivity, and the intra-actions between ecology, subjectivity, and ethics. Furthermore, the course examines new materialism’s reclamation of the materiality of the body, its integrated concept of nature, as well as interpretations of art and the digital in relation to social processes.

Course period
9 September 2025 – Course Intro online
30 Sept-26 Oct. Independent Reading Period
27-30 October Intensive Four Days Seminars (mandatory face-to-face presence at Campus Frescati)

**ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS LEFT TO APPLY** DEADLINE: 15 JULY 2025

VIAD Research Centre at the University of Johannesburg, invites applications for two fully funded National Research Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowships located under its Bioart and Design Africa (BA + DA) research stream.

This exciting opportunity is open to scholars and creative practitioners who critically and creatively deploy bioart and biodesign as decolonial praxis to reshape current and future ecologies from Africanised perspectives.

As there are relatively few opportunities for bioart and biodesign scholarship and practice in the South African academy, this fellowship offers an exceptional opportunity for scholars and practitioners to engage with alternative forms of collaborative praxis; experimental ways of working with biomatter and biomaterials; unconventional methodologies, practice-led research and indigenous forms of knowledge which foreground ecocentrism.

For further information, please see the link: http://viad.co.za/two-post-doctoral-fellowships-in-bioart-design-africa/
