Scholarship Description: The Department of Anthropology is offering one three-year PhD
studentship to work on a project about human-animal relations in the
circumpolar North. The position will start either in January 2014 or October
2014 and be based in Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom. The studentship will
include full UK/EU fees and a maintenance stipend set at RCUK rates, funds to
support conference travel and fieldwork, and a small equipment budget. The
project will consider the possibility of paying the full overseas fees of
non-EU applicant depending on the quality of the application. The studentship
form part of a 5-year project (2012-2017) funded by the European Research
Council entitled ‘Arctic Domestication: Emplacing Human/Animal relations in the
Circumpolar North. ‘Arctic Domestication’ aims to develop a new language to
describe how communities of people and communities of animals invigorate life
in Northern Places. Through fieldwork in seven settings from the Russian
Federation, Canada, Alaska, and Fennoscandia we hope to document the wide
variety of relationships between people and animals. The project will build on
existing metaphors of animal agency, personhood, enskillment, embodiment and
luck in order to build bridges between the disciplines of ethnography, science
studies, environmental archaeology, genetics and zoo archaeology. Full details
on the project can found on the first link below. The studentship is designed
to play an integral role in uniting small teams of scholars working in specific
regions. The core of the application should be a research project which
integrates knowledge of a particular setting with one or more of the
disciplines within the project.
