We are now looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to carry out research as part of two research projects: 'Global Palestine: Frontier Geographies of a Region in Flux' (GloPal, funded by the Research Council of Finland) and 'Dwelling with Crisis: Home at Spaces of Chronic Violence (HOMCRI, funded by European Research Council). Fixed-term position is filled for 2 years (24 months, full time), starting from 1 February 2027 (or upon agreement).

The ' Global Palestine: Frontier Geographies of a Region in Flux' (GloPal) explores how Palestine has become a key frontier through which contemporary global transformations and political frictions unfold, travel and circulate. Linking colonial violence to geopolitics, innovation capital, environmental harm, and far-right policies, the project focuses on how processes emerging in Palestine both intensify global and regional connections, and travel elsewhere through three interconnected frontiers: innovation capital, destabilization of democracy, and the ecologies of security and militarization. The ERC-funded project Dwelling with Crisis: Home at Spaces of Chronic Violence (HOMCRI) focuses on incapacitating material, affective, and political environments of everyday dwelling in spaces of economic collapse, infrastructural shortage, protracted state/settler violence and/or war-torn environments.
