Call for applications
Two-year post-doctoral research position at the Czech Academy of 
Sciences, Institute of Sociology in an
international TANDEM project
Home beyond species: More-than-human dwelling in the age of crises
We are looking for an early-career post-doc researcher (no longer than 
two years after obtaining their
Ph.D.) who would like to become part of our TANDEM research team for the 
time of up to 2 years,
starting in summer 2022. The TANDEM collaboration is between Dr. Petr 
Gibas (Czech Academy of
Sciences) and Dr. Chloé Mondémé (CNRS/CEFRES) based at CEFRES, Prague, 
Czech Republic.
The position is offered as part of a general call of the Czech Academy 
of Sciences under its program for
support of young researchers. The successful candidate is expected to 
stay in Prague, Czech Republic,
for most of the time, and to take an active part in the activities of 
the project, conducting her/his own
research and contributing to the project debates, events and outcomes. 
As the TANDEM project’s main
prospect is to work towards an ERC funding application, the position can 
lead to further project-based
collaborations.
The position is suitable for young researchers with a background in 
social sciences and/or humanities
whose academic interests intersect with the general framework of the 
Tandem project titled Home
beyond species: More-than-human dwelling in the age of crises. In 
response to the frequently
overlooked but imperative role of non-humans in the lives and 
dwelling(s) of humans, the project
interrogates the more-than-human entanglements that underpin 
contemporary home(s), and probes the
potential of thinking home beyond (human) species for a better 
understanding of the challenges and
transformations late modern humanity is confronted with. The project is 
based on an empirical and
conceptual exploration of carefully selected examples of more-than-human 
dwelling and strives to
explicitly engage with the issue of how social scientists can 
productively study contemporary postanthropocentric
home in its diversified, localised forms. In doing so, the project 
ponders and strives to
answer questions such as:
How can we as scientists devoted to the study of humans (and their 
dwelling) reflect on
encountering non-humans at and around home? What new conceptual terrains 
can be opened up
by inviting non-humans into our thinking about human dwelling(s)? And 
most importantly: How
does acknowledging of the more-than-human entanglements challenge the 
established notions
of home, both scholarly and commonplace?
The expected candidate can, e.g., be interested in issues concerning 
more-than-human studies including
animal, plant or other more-than-human geographies, non-human in social 
sciences including
anthropology, human-animal relations, micro-sociology and interactional 
linguistics vis-à-vis nonhumans,
as well as topics from post-humanism, new materialism and 
post-anthropocentric studies
related to the project’s focus.
The salary is to be up to 600.000 CZK per year (i.e. ca EUR 1.900 per 
month gross)
Application deadline: 27 March 2022, online interview 28 March – 1 April 
2022
Please submit your research proposal (1 page of 1.800 characters 
maximum) outlining what research
you would like to focus on as part of the project team and your academic 
CV to (petr.gibas /at/ soc.cas.cz)
and/or (chloe.mondeme /at/ cnrs.fr).
More information about the TANDEM project can be found here. In case of 
any queries, do not hesitate to
contact Petr Gibas or Chloé Mondémé directly.
