Vacancy: Postdoctoral Researcher in VolkswagenStiftung Project „Medium-Scale Farmers in Rural Africa: Transformations in Belonging, Property, Kinship and Power“



The project „Medium-Scale Farmers in Rural Africa: Transformations in Belonging, Property, Kinship and Power“ was recently approved for funding by VolkswagenStiftung. The project will investigate the agency of medium scale farmers, their strategies for accumulation, and their impact on the agrarian economy and smallholder production. It is regionally focused around the rural landscape and agrarian economies of Namibia, Ghana and Tanzania. With Emmanuel Sulle, Ruth Hall, Clemens Greiner and Michael Bollig, the project features four members of the research initiative „Sharing a Planet in Peril“ (SAPP), alongside Kojo Amanor (University of Ghana).


The project is currently looking for a Postdoctoral researcher (Anthropology) (f/m/x).
