PhD fellowship in Urban Frontiers
3 months ago
The Department of Food and Resource Economics invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Urban Frontiers. The project is part of the research project, Urban Frontiers, directed by Professor Christian Lund. The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC). Three PhD positions are advertised.
Start date is expected to be January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. However, no land, that government and developers see as future cities in the Global South, is vacant. There is no empty 'no-man's land.' Individual citizens, social movements, squatters, and urban developers already engage in making their land use look legal. Urban property development in the Global South therefore often starts out in illegality, and only subsequently does it become legal. The project investigates how land is accessed, coded, and controlled in urban peripheries.
Applicants will work within the theoretical and conceptual framework of the programme as described on The research project will conduct a series of extended case studies of concrete social struggles in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
