Ämne: [Tema-t] Open positions on Nuclear Futures: 1 Ass Prof + 1 PhD candidate –
applications due 1 Dec 2025
Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting),
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
