Applications are invited for a <b>post-doc position </b>at Rhodes
University in Grahamstown/<b>South Africa</b>. <br>
<br>
This is a <b>12-months full time position</b> renewable depending
on the availability of funds - R 180 000 per annum and additional
funds are available to support research and conference
presentations. South African and foreign citizens from a wide range
of disciplinary backgrounds will be considered.<br>
<br>
The position is hosted by the ICT Education Unit in the Education
Department, but the successful candidate will be part of a
multi-disciplinary team. In rural and peri-urban areas of the
Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, mobile phones play an
important role in mediating the relationship with the local
territory. The project "€œ<b>Mediating the territory: mobile phones
and hyperlocal services in marginalised areas</b>" seeks to
explore such a role through exploratory research, adaptation and
implementation of mobile service platforms and evaluation of the
impact. The project seeks to capacitate members of marginalised
communities to preserve resources and minimise waste in the area
where they live.<br>
<br>
Besides playing an active role in the project, the successful
candidate is expected to publish the equivalent of two articles in
subsidy-earning journals a year, to contribute to teaching and
post-graduate supervision and to assist with administration and
logistics. <br>
<br>
Submissions are open until the position is filled. The starting date
of the contract is 1 September 2016 or as soon as possible
thereafter. Please email the application to: <b>Prof Lorenzo Dalvit
