We invite applications for a postdoctoral research fellow under the Social Science and Humanities Research (SSHR) Fellowship, led by Principal Investigator Dr Lin Weiqiang. Successful applicants must hold a PhD degree in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
Awarded by Singapore's Social Science Research Council (SSRC), a Social Science and Humanities Research (SSHR) Fellowship, led by Principle Investigator Dr Lin Weiqiang (National University of Singapore) with collaborators Professor Peter Adey (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Dr Tina Harris (University of Amsterdam), is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to the team's research activities on airport infrastructure, automation and labour.
Motivated by the rapid acceleration of aeromobilities in Asia, the SSHR Fellowship project aims to better understand the inner-workings of the aviation industry as well as inform related policies surrounding infrastructure building, technology and airport labour in the region. The project will focus on the daily labour that goes into the maintenance and reproduction of airport infrastructure as well as its evolving relationships with automation in a post-COVID world. Our focus is on contemporary Asia and is concerned with the sustainability of the present turn towards mega-infrastructures.
The position will sit within the Department of Geography at NUS. Contract will be awarded for at least 12 months, and up to 18 months. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with the SSHR Fellowship project team, including the PI, two project collaborators, one PhD scholar and two research assistants.
