Just in case there is still anyone out there without funding (a bit of light humour to brighten our dark professional times if you permit), please find below not one, two or even three – but SIX post doc positions. Or to be more specific still, six positions within universities, and then two positions in, well – see for yourselves!
The first two positions are for Princeton, the first for the Fung Global Fellows Program at Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (DEADLINE Nov 1), the second for the LAPA Fellowships at the Program in Law and Public Affairs (DEADLINE Nov 4). Both positions are for the academic year 2014-2015. The following positions – four in total – are for three-year Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellows at Nuffield College, Oxford. Two of the positions are in Politics, and two in Sociology, but both calls are broadly enough defined to encourage anthropologists to apply (DEADLINE for both Nov 4).
The last two positions are for Microsoft Research – YES, that’s right!
Microsoft says that they offer “a vibrant research environment with with an open publications policy and with close links to top academic institutions around the world”, and you know what, we might actually be persuaded to believe them! We’ll leave the obvious concerns about business ethics, global capitalism etc aside, and choose to be bold: why not give it a go! (After all, they explicitly mention that they welcome anthropologists… and this WOULD be a great step toward authoring something quite exciting about the high-tech world). We’re not exactly sure for how long the positions are, but their recruiting team will certainly assist (DEADLINE from NOV 1 onwards).
