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
