2 PhD scholarships in Ethnology Applications are invited for two PhD scholarships at the Saxo Institute, associated with the Centre for Sustainable Futures. The position will be part of the Carlsberg Foundation funded Semper Ardens Accomplish project: Tolerating Urban Animals. Techno-moral perspectives on killing and caring for other species. The chosen candidates will be employed at the Saxo Institute and enrolled at the PhD School of the Faculty of Humanities. The scholarship is for 3 years starting on 1 September 2026 or after agreement. The Tolerating Urban Animals project explores the use of technologies for managing undomesticated and feral urban animals. Through ethnographic fieldwork and archival studies in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, we follow the technological development and legislation on animal rights in the EU since the 1970s, to explore technologies and everyday practices of deterring, killing, or caring for animals. The project asks: Why, where and by whom, are certain technologies seen as adequate and morally appropriate in human-animal relations? How and why do technologies and moral conditions for managing urban animals shift or persist? The two PhD projects will explore:
