S/he will work on a dissertation on 20th century Arabic scientific and strategic visual representations of the deep Mediterranean.
Led by PI Lino Camprubí, DEEPMED explores the historical discovery of the 3D Mediterranean in three different but interrelated domains: science and technology, strategy, and environment. Its main hypothesis is that the co-evolution of scientific and strategic approaches to the deep Mediterranean environment transformed conceptions of this sea.

The PhD candidate will join the project’s Work Package 1: The production of space: charts, currents, and points of passage. It is a historical analysis of evolving knowledge and visual representations of the Mediterranean depths through the history of 1. civil and military bathymetry charts (paying special attention to varying interpretations in the different national and disciplinary traditions) and 2. understandings of Mediterranean currents and their dynamics (particularly at the integration of sub-basins and changing understandings of the water column).
The position is scheduled to start on September 1st, 2022. The final salary is to be determined later in the selection process.
Application deadline: 30 April 2022. Application materials:
