In the framework of the MODSCAPES project, Estonian University of Life Sciences is looking for highly talented and motivated candidates for two part-time researcher posts.

MODSCAPES deals with rural landscapes produced by large-scale agricultural development and colonization schemes planned in the 20th century throughout Europe and beyond. Their implementation produced new rural landscapes which have seldom been considered as a transnational research topic. Hence, MODSCAPES aims to raise awareness around this largely underestimated, shared cultural heritage which stands today as a tangible evidence of recent European history.

The successful candidates will integrate within the EMÜ team, coordinated by prof. Simon Bell, which deals with three case studies (Collective farms in Estonia, Latvia and Eastern Germany).

From a methodological point of view, the candidate will contribute to the EMÜ team’s specific lead on one work package and also collect data necessary for other work packages.

For full details of these vacancies, please see the EMÜ website. The closing date is 05 August 2016.
