(02) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral Research Fellowship affiliated to the research initiative Eco-Emotions
The main aim of the project is to discuss how humans affectively deal with environmental change, as represented in and through literature, from the past and today, in the North and globally. The current environmental crisis has made us aware of the pressing need for new insight, pertaining to the deeper emotive structures of humanity and the cognitive mechanisms that condition our relationship to the environment. The two main research questions of the project are: (1) How does literature represent and describe affective responses to environmental change? (2) What effect does literature have on our emotions and thoughts, and how can it contribute to sustainability in times of environmental transformations? By discussing these research questions, the project will harvest the yet unexploited potential of powerful, large-scale narratives from the past and today, which have the potential to activate new ways of thinking about and relating to our environment.
Deadline : 15th August 2024

(05) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral Research Fellowships associated with the ERC-funded project “ECOART”
(1) Doctoral Research Fellowship in the Artistic Use and Visual Representation of Geological Resources
Doctoral Research Fellowship 1 is available for a dissertation project that focuses on the artistic use and visual representation of geological resources during a timespan within the early modern period from at least two of the following sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. The focus of the dissertation will be a comprehensive investigation of the extraction, exchange, and artistic uses of one or more geological resources in local and global contexts across early modern Eurasia, for example through extant artifacts that implement mined goods as well as visual documentations of mining itself. The dissertation will tackle how selected geological resources informed aesthetic practices across Eurasia and how knowledge on minerals, clays, gemstones, or other mined goods was developed and articulated in art and artisanship. Possible examples include but are not limited to mined pigments like cinnabar and cobalt in art across Eurasia, for example in paintings on porcelain created in places that range from Jingdezhen and Guangzhou in China to Delft in the Netherlands; Sri Lankan rubies used by Indian, European, and Chinese craftsmen in the making of collectible and wearable objects, for example crowns; American-mined silver transported to India and China via Manila by the Spanish as currency to be partially melted and reused by silversmiths, for example in the crafting of elaborate pieces of jewellery.
(2) Doctoral Research Fellowship in the Artistic Use and Visual Representation of Botanical Resources
Doctoral Research Fellowship 2 is available for a dissertation project that focuses on the artistic use and visual representation of botanical resources during a timespan within the early modern period from at least two of the following sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. The dissertation will examine the artistic use and representation of widespread botanical resources like pine timber, which was used in sculptures and the crafting of furniture, or site-specific ones like the resin of the Asian lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum), a key component of painted, carved, and inlayed lacquerware sculptures, paintings, and artifacts. The dissertation project will explore how selected botanical resources informed aesthetic practices across Eurasia and how knowledge about plant- based artistic materials shaped artistic and artisanal epistemologies. Possible examples include but are not limited to Indian indigo dyes used in batik and paintings on textiles across Eurasia; amber from Asia and Europe used in Eurasian artifacts, e.g., Chinese snuff bottles; the resin of the Asian lacquer tree used in lacquerware sculptures, paintings, and artifacts made in East Asia and Southeast Asia (and which were imitated in Europe).

(11) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:–PhD Research Fellow in Plant Reproduction and Developmental Biology
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon giving rise to parent-of-origin allele specific expression that occurs mainly in placental tissue/endosperm in animals and plants and is hypothesized to be involved in the allocation of nutrient resources to the growing embryo. Although imprinting has evolved independently in plant and animal lineages, similar epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone tail modification, and sRNA-guided silencing mechanisms are conserved. In plants, genomic imprinting is hypothesized to be established in the gametes and reflected in parent-of-origin allele specific expression in the endosperm after fertilization [Hornslien et al. Plant Physiol. 2019].
Using temporal and spatial endosperm specific GFP markers and fluorescence-assisted nuclear sorting to study endosperm expression by allele-specific transcript profiling, we have shown that imprinting patterns can be established late in endosperm development and in specific domains, challenging the current hypothesis [van Ekelenburg et al. Plant Physiol. 2023]. These findings are supported by experimental evidence from hybridization crosses between different Arabidopsis species: Here, a parental-specific expression can be reversed by fertilization by a different species, suggesting a dynamic regulation mechanism that can act after fertilization [Bjerkan et al., Plant J. 2020]. We have established that using different species in hybrid crosses leads to diametrically opposite phenotypic consequences in the endosperm, thus allowing association of imprinting patterns to a phenotype [Bjerkan et al., Front. Plant Sci. 2023].
