The University of Vienna is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher (up to 4 years) to join the ERC Starting Grant Project “Sustained Concerns: Administration of Mineral Resources in Central Europe, 1550-1850" (SCARCE), working at the intersection of history of science and technology, social and economic history, and environmental history. SCARCE provides a critical history of today's stakeholder conflicts by showing how contradictory principles of resource management - economic development, sustainability, and technological innovation - were forged in proto-industrial settings. It explores alternative, historical ways of provisioning for communities, making them available for current debates on environmental degradation and climate emergency.

- to assist in research-related aspects of project coordination (e.g. run a seminar series)
- to present own research, and represent SCARCE, at international conferences;
- to organize one conference related to own research;
- to participate in project meetings and events.
