[ecrea] TRADERS: open call for early-stage researchers (6 positions)

TRADERS: open call for early-stage researchers (6 positions)

Are you interested in joining an enthusiastic, international and 
interdisciplinary team of art and design researchers? And are you 
willing to conduct thought-provoking research in a participatory context?

'TRADERS - Training art and design researchers in participation for 
public space' is an FP-7, Seventh Framework Programme/Marie Curie 
Actions 
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/about-mca/actions/itn/) 
project that focuses on developing and testing a methodological 
framework on which art and design (A&D) researchers can rely when 
working on public space projects in participatory ways. This framework 
is transferable and aims to enhance the potentials in A&D practices to 
contribute creatively in processes of changes in public space and 
branches related to the public space, such as mobility or health. 
‘TRADERS’ is a network of 6 hosting Partner Institutions (and 5 (SME) 
Associate Partner Institutions): Faculty of the Arts, LUCA/Katholieke 
Hogeschool Limburg (Belgium, www.mad-fac.be), University of Gothenburg 
(Sweden, http://www.gu.se/), Design Academy Eindhoven (Netherlands, 
http://www.designacademy.nl/), The Royal College of Art, School of 
Architecture, (United Kingdom, http://www.rca.ac.uk), Chalmers 
University of Technology, Department of Architecture (Sweden, 
http://www.chalmers.se/) and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium, 
http://www.kuleuven.be/).

The project offers 6 positions for enthusiastic, early stage researchers 
(ESRs, meaning that - at the time of recruitment - a doctorate degree 
has not yet been awarded and the researcher is in the first 4 years 
(full-time equivalent) of his/her research career), who are willing to 
team up with international, interdisciplinary fellow-researchers to 
conduct art & design research in a participatory context. The 
researchers will be involved in the project for a duration of 36 months 
(full-time equivalent), starting on 1st February 2014. The research 
fields that are particularly relevant to this call are: Art, Design, 
Architecture, Sociology and Anthropology.
