Bourse de doctorat – Art et science

12 novembre 2010 in Prix et bourses | Permalink

Bourse de doctorat – Art et science

Pro*Doc Universität Bern, Université de Fribourg, Université de Genève, Université de Lausanne, ETH Zürich

SNF  Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung

Mise au concours : bourses pour candidat-e-s au doctorat

Dans le cadre du programme d’études doctorales Pro*Doc Art & science sont mises au concours

10 bourses pour candidat-e-s au doctorat (100%)

Le ProDoc Art & science examine l’évolution des relations d’échange entre arts visuels et sciences depuis la Renaissance jusqu’au XXIe siècle. Il vise à explorer les processus d’influence, de réflexion et d’appropriation réciproques qui ont existé et existent entre ces deux domaines du point de vue des méthodes et des processus cognitifs. L’attention du ProDoc Art & science ne porte pas seulement sur les produits des sciences et des arts mais aussi sur les activités des artistes et des scientifiques ainsi que sur les conditions d’exercice de ces activités.

Le ProDoc entend encourager le dialogue entre l’histoire et la théorie des sciences d’une part, et l’histoire de l’art d’autre part, conçue dans une ouverture à l’ensemble des phénomènes culturels et à l’interdisciplinarité, notamment face aux intersections entre art et architecture, science et évolution technologique. Les projets de thèse sollicités chercheront donc à élargir les perspectives disciplinaires de l’histoire de l’art ou de l’histoire des sciences à l’aide de problématiques transversales et de procédures interdisciplinaires.

Le programme d’études doctorales Art & science est composé de cinq modules de recherche attachés chacun à une chaire:
– FM1: Architektur, Raum und Wahrnehmung im industriellen Zeitalter. Teil  2: Raumdiskurse und Wissenschaftsvorstellungen in Architektur und Städtebau des 20. Jahrhunderts. (Université de Berne, direction prof. Bernd Nicolai).
– FM2: Art et anatomie / 2*. (Université de Fribourg, direction prof. Victor Stoichita).
– FM3: Art et psychologie, 1880-1950. (Université de Genève, direction prof. Dario Gamboni).
– FM4: Architektur und Wissenschaft seit den 1960er Jahren. (ETH Zürich, direction prof. Philip Ursprung).
– FM5: Sciences neurologiques et arts, 1880-1950. (Université de Lausanne, direction prof. Vincent Barras).

A chaque module de recherche sont attachés plusieurs projets de thèse de doctorat. Veuillez indiquer dans votre postulation pour quel module de recherche vous proposez votre projet.

Des informations supplémentaires sur le contenu des modules de recherche et sur les thèmes éventuellement proposés dans leur cadre se trouvent sur la page web:
http://www.khist.uzh.ch/Moderne/ProDoc/ProDoc2.html

On attend des candidats retenus une participation active au programme de formation du ProDoc, qui consistera en ateliers, journées d’études et colloques ayant lieu à tour de rôle à Genève, Fribourg, Lausanne, Berne et Zurich. Les membres du ProDoc devront être inscrits dans une université suisse pour la durée de leur bourse et coopérer étroitement avec le directeur du module. Pour pouvoir postuler, il faut être au bénéfice d’un diplôme de fin d’études universitaires en histoire de l’art ou l’une des disciplines apparentées, en histoire des sciences ou en
architecture. Le projet de thèse soumis doit appartenir à l’histoire de l’art, de l’architecture ou des sciences et s’inscrire thématiquement dans l’un des modules de recherche du programme.

Les bourses, qui débutent le 1er septembre 2011, sont prévues pour trois ans sans possibilité de prolongation.
Des candidat-e-s au doctorat bénéficiant d’autres sources de financement peuvent être associé-e-s au programme.

Les candidat-e-s sont prié-e-s d’adresser, en double, d’ici au 31 janvier 2011 au directeur du module et aux adresses suivantes, par courrier postal ou électronique, une lettre de motivation, un CV et leur projet de thèse esquissé en cinq pages maximum:

Prof. Dr. Philip Ursprung (Directeur)
Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universität Zürich
Hottingerstr. 10, CH-8032 Zürich, Schweiz

PhD-Position at the Department of Art and Media Studies, NTNU (Trondheim, Norway)

The Faculty of Humanities announces a PhD-position connected to the interdisciplinary project Picturing the Brain: Perspectives on Neuroimaging, financed by the Research Council of Norway. The project explores recent methods of neuroimaging and visualization, focusing on the epistemological roles these methods play, as images or as visual tools, in the conduct and communication of medicine and science. The goal is to obtain a deeper understanding of how images contribute to the developing knowledge about the brain by serving as a research tool, as a perceptual prosthesis, or as a powerful rhetorical device. Societal, cultural and ethical aspects related to more recent applications of these image technologies will be emphasized. The available position will be connected to the project’s work package 1, which is tasked with investigating neuroimaging’s role as a diagnostic tool and as a tool for the mapping of brain functions.

Applicants must have completed a Master’s degree or equivalent degree with a strong academic record (B or better) in media studies, art history or similar. Applicants with a different background in the humanities or social sciences (philosophy, science and technology studies, literature studies, social anthropology, sociology) will also be considered if the applicant can show theoretical and analytical knowledge of images, for instance through their master’s thesis. The doctoral study should be completed within the prescribed time for PhD-studies (three years of full-time study where ½ year is dedicated to compulsory coursework).

Knowledge of theory and history related to scientific use of images is desirable. Knowledge of media theory, contemporary philosophy of technology, science and technology studies, or ethics will be beneficial. Experience from interdisciplinary research, or from art and exhibition work will also be considered when evaluating the applications. The working language for the project is English, and it is therefore preferred that the dissertation is written in English.

The application must contain information about education, exams/grades, publications and any relevant experience. The applicants are also asked to give a brief summary of their master’s thesis and account for their interest in the announced project. In addition, the application must include an outline of ideas and perspectives that the applicant wishes to develop in his/her PhD project, within the framework of the overall project’s work package 1 (no more than three pages). The project description and other relevant information can be obtained by contacting Aud Sissel Hoel, telephone (+47)73 59 65 83, or mail aud.sissel.hoel@ntnu.no.

The project offers an active, interdisciplinary and international research environment that includes researchers in media studies, art history, philosophy, media technology, medical technology and neuroscience, as well as artists. The PhD candidate’s research project will be conducted in cooperation with the project’s research partners in medical technology and neuroscience.

The applications should be submitted electronically through this page. Applicants should label their applications with the reference number of application, HF 10-035, and assemble the separate attachments into one document.

The following attachments for the PhD position must be sent electronically through this page:

  • scanned copies of certificates (originals must be produced at the interview)
  • list of publications

If some of the attachments cannot be sent electronically, one copy should be sent by regular mail. The envelope must be marked with the reference number HF 10-035 and sent to NTNU, Faculty of Humanities, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway.

Shortlisted applicants will be asked for references and invited to an interview.

Within 3 months after appointing the successful PhD scholarship holder he/she must apply for admission to the PhD programme in Humanities and the Arts. For further details, please access: www.ntnu.no/hf/forskerutdanning

The positions are remunerated according to salary level 48 in the national salary scheme, gross NOK 383 700 annually, of which 2 per cent is deducted for the State Pension scheme. The appointments will be made in accordance with the current regulations for fellowship appointments at Norwegian universities. A contract will be drawn up detailing the period of appointment and required duties.

The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants. Primary residency in the Department of Art and Media, at the Faculty of Humanities in Trondheim is a prerequisite.

Application deadline is November 10, 2010.

Post-doctoral fellowship – Self-Consciousness and Bodily Inter-Subjectivity

29 septembre 2010 in Emplois, Prix et bourses | Permalink


Post-doctoral fellowship – Self-Consciousness and Bodily Inter-Subjectivity


Centre de Recherche en Epistémologie Appliquée, CREA, Paris.

UMR 7656. CNRS/Ecole Polytechnique.

http://www.crea.polytechnique.fr/LeCREA/

Dates

Start: January 1st 2011.

End: December 31st 2011.

One-year contract with the possibility of a two-year extension.

Principal investigator

Dorothée Legrand.

Project description

Self-consciousness has classically been conceptualized as originating either from “solipsistic mirrors” (e.g. recognizing myself in the image of my body reflected in physical mirrors and attributing to myself mental states experienced through introspection) or from “social mirrors” (e.g. seeing myself in others’ eyes and understanding myself according to others’ reaction to my behavior). Is self-consciousness subjectively or inter-subjectively constituted? Most answers currently given to this question are partial, favoring hierarchical models where either oneself or others are prioritized. The present project aims at proposing alternatives to such views, by considering self-consciousness as both at once subjective and inter-subjective. In particular, the project focuses on bodily self-consciousness and intends to develop a conceptual characterization of the inter-subjective structure of embodiment. This conceptual work is expected to be actively integrated to experimental and clinical work.

The post-doctoral fellowship is part of a 3 year research grant from the Volkswagen Foundation, European Platform for Life Sciences, Mind Sciences and Humanities, involving collaboration between Dr Dorothée Legrand (Centre de Recherche en Epistémologie Appliquée (CREA), CNRS, Paris), Md Mathias Gorog (Hôpital Ste Anne, Paris), Dr Manos Tsakiris (Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway University of London) and Dr Simone Schütz-Bosbach (Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive ad Brain Sciences, Leipzig). The post-doctoral fellow is expected to participate to and highly benefit from the interdisciplinary expertise and activities of this group.

Proficiency in French or English.

Candidate’s Expertise

Philosophy.

Appreciated Skills

Knowledge in psychology, cognitive sciences, social sciences and/or psychoanalytic theories.

Fluency in French and English.

Profile

The candidate is expected to be an independent researcher (shaping and conducting her/his own sets of projects), able to work collaboratively (actively participating to the effort of the aforementioned research group).

Funding details

The post-doctoral fellow will be employed by the CNRS.

Salary: 2500€ before tax (may be reevaluated depending on the professional experience of the candidate).
