PhD-candidate in Geography/Political Ecology
Project
CONTEXT
The researcher will participate in the interdisciplinary research project on
nature-society interaction in regional development: an interdisciplinary
dialogue between past and present in the region of Sagalassos (BOF GOA
13/04) which focuses on a diachronic understanding of society-nature
co-evolution in the region of the archaeological site of Sagalassos (SW
Turkey) and combines historical and archaeological research from Archaic
(from the 6th c. BC) to Ottoman times (until 1922) with an analysis of
present-day nature-culture relations. The intention is to investigate
changes in subsistence strategies and community building during periods of
stress on social patterns, and to evaluate how nature-society interactions
sustained and/or limited the emergence of new local communities. The
interdisciplinary team combines archaeological fieldwork will with an
analysis of changes in food production and diet, technology, and forest and
land use management, with the aim of understanding social relations in
consecutive small-scale, local communities. This longterm diachronic
analysis of the social, cultural, political, economic, ecological and
environmental regulation of regional development in the different
pre-capitalist societies serves to develop insights in alternative
sustainable pathways of regional development for the future. t The candidate
will be based in the Political Ecology research team of the KU Leuven
division of Geography but will interact intensively with archeologists,
forestry specialists and urban and regional planners involved in the
research project, as well as with specialists in Belgium, Turkey and beyond.
TASKS
The researcher will be responsible for an analysis of the path-dependent
development of the social institutions that structure nature-culture
interactions in the region of the archaeological site of Sagalassos (SW
Turkey). The analysis of these institutions will result in a better
understanding of how the region functions as a whole, not merely to
understand the weight of the past generations on the present, but to explore
the possibilities for a future sustainable development. The tasks will be
conducted in close collaboration with the researcher responsible for setting
up a sustainable regional development trajectory.
The researcher will participate in regular field work periods of several
months in Turkey. This field work consists of ethnographic work (analyzing
every-day life and the interaction between personal identities and the
perception of landscape and place), key-respondent oral history interviews
(to understand the development of formal and informal institutions governing
society-nature relations) in the region of ancient Sagalassos; as well as
archival research in the Ottoman archives in Istanbul.
The researcher is supposed to develop a PhD on the basis of this research
according to the rules of the KULeuven Arenberg Doctoral School (see
https://set.kuleuven.be/phd/).
Profile
The candidate is expected to be fluent in Turkish and English, in speaking,
reading and writing.
The candidate should hold a masters degree in History or Archeology with a
proven interest in Geography or Regional Planning; or a masters degree in
Human Geography or Political Ecology with a proven interest in historical
research.
Experience with archival research and diverse social research methods stands
as an advantage. The ability to read Ottoman Turkish is a definite plus.
Offer
Contract of 2 x 2 years
