PhD Position in Design // Interfacing the Ocean

Open paid PhD position at the Zurich University of the Arts. 

Application Deadline: November 6, 2023

We would like to draw your attention to our fully funded PhD position in Design/Marine Ecology.

We would be happy if you could spread the announcement in your network!

We are offering a 4-year PhD position on the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project „Interfacing the Ocean”, which seeks to initiate a sea change in design in collaboration with marine biology and anthropology. This unique project explores how creative practices in and with ocean environments support sympoietic underwater processes, foster sensitive human-marine species interactions and encourage multispecies coexistence. By integrating a number of institutional partners “Interfacing the Ocean” aims at establishing a new perspective on design in and with the ocean.
