The Institute of Philosophy within the Department of History and Social Sciences at the Technical University of Darmstadt invites applications for a

Research Associate/PostDoc (all genders) in Digital Humanities (Code. No. T344-2024)

immediately in a fixed-term employment relationship (5 years). The position is classified according to pay group 13 of the TU Darmstadt collective agreement (TV-TU Darmstadt).

ABOUT US

TU Darmstadt stands for excellent and relevant science. We are playing a decisive role in shaping far-reaching processes of global change – from energy transition to artificial intelligence – through outstanding scientific knowledge and innovative academic programmes. We group our cutting-edge research into three fields: Energy and Environment, Information and Intelligence, Matter and Materials. We are a university with strong ties to the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region and a very strong international focus. We are committed to European values and European integration.

ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT

The ERC project “The Cultures of the Cryosphere. Infrastructures, Politics and Futures of Artificial Cooling” (CultCryo) investigates the cultural preconditions and consequences of the use of artificial cold. With a globally networked system of cold storage facilities, nitrogen tanks, cold chains, and air-conditioned spaces, the global use of cooling and freezing technologies enables modern life on both biological and social levels – for example, in the areas of food supply, medicine, air conditioning, and data processing. Despite its far-reaching socio-ecological impacts, the enormously energy-intensive planetary “cryosphere” has not yet been systematically researched.

CultCryo will develop the first geographic mapping of the artificial cryosphere, a historical reconstruction of its formation, an ethnography of its cultural constitution, a philosophical analysis of its conceptual and technical constitution and an ethical investigation of its underlying norms and values. The interdisciplinary research project consists of four international research groups at the Technical University of Darmstadt, the Paderborn University, the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the Australian National University Canberra, as well as other project partners. The Darmstadt team is based at the Institute of Philosophy within the Department of History and Social Sciences.

About Us

Department of Nutritional Sciences

The Department of Nutritional Sciences explores the relationship between diet, health and disease from molecules to populations. Based at King’s Waterloo Campus, the Department of Nutritional Sciences combines over 60 basic and applied scientists, dietitians, nutritionists, doctors and public health experts. Our mission is to find new ways to improve health and to prevent and treat nutrition-related disease.

 

We began in 1953 as the first university department of nutrition in Europe and have been at the forefront of research in nutrition science and dietetics ever since. We have developed new food applications to impact blood glucose control, collected big data through citizen science to understand individual responses to food, pioneered the low FODMAP diet as a treatment for IBS, and are developing new cereal processing techniques to unlock the natural iron and zinc in staple foods.

 

We use our expertise to teach the next generation of nutrition scientists and dietitians and deliver specialist training for healthcare professionals. Our teaching programmes are accredited by professional bodies (Association for Nutrition, British Dietetic Association, HCPC) allowing our graduates to register as Associate Nutritionists or Registered Dietitians.

 

School of Life Course & Population Sciences

Our Department is based in the School of Life Course & Population Sciences, one of six Schools that make up the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine at King’s College London. The School unites over 400 experts in women and children’s health, nutritional sciences, population health and the molecular genetics of human disease. Our research links the causes of common health problems to life’s landmark stages, treating life, disease and healthcare as a continuum. We are interdisciplinary by nature and this innovative approach works. In REF 2021, the Department and School were returned under Unit of Assessment 3 (Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy) where 70% of research was 4* (world-leading) and 95% of research was 4* and 3* (world-leading or internationally excellent), and importantly, 100% of the research environment was rated 4* (world-leading). This resulted in the highest ranking in the UK for UoA3 for research, research output, research GPA and research power.

 

We use this expertise to teach the next generation of health professionals and research scientists. Based across King’s Denmark Hill, Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Waterloo campuses, our academic programme of teaching, research and clinical practice is embedded across five Departments.
