Beschreibung
In the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, a joint initiative of The Schaufler Foundation and TUD Dresden University of Technology, researchers and artists address the interactions between technology, art, science, and entrepreneurship. The focus is on technology as a resource, as a medium of dissemination, and as an element of discourse. The guiding theme of the second funding phase will be “Data↔Worlds. Socio-technical and Cultural Syntheses of New Realities”. Under this title, the relationships between technological development and social and cultural change are to be investigated from a primarily humanities, cultural, social and educational science perspective, artistically elaborated and communicated to the public. The Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden comprises seven PhD positions and one postdoctoral position at the Schaufler Kolleg graduate school, as well as an annually changing Artist in Residence program at the Schaufler Residency. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.
