Postdoc position in Urban Frontiers
1 week ago
The Department of Food and Resource Economics invites applicants for a Postdoc position 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 3-year Postdoc 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. Applicants must propose a country and within it an urban research site and describe how the research priorities of the programme will be relevantly addressed in the project (maximum 4 pages). Significant fieldwork is envisaged. Relevant language capabilities are important qualifications.
The Post docs will be working within the Global Development Section in the Department for Food and Resource Economics at the University of Copenhagen.
