Three PhD candidates in Future Health at University of Amsterdam

The Department of Anthropology, one of the Departments in the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FMG) , is looking for three PhD candidates who will participate in the research project 'Global future health: a multi-sited ethnography of an adaptive intervention' (FutureHealth), which is funded through a European Research Council Starting Grant.

The research project is a multi-sited ethnography of an emergent global health intervention to improve nutrition in the first 1000 days of life. We will study how the intervention is designed and then variously adapted as it is implemented in different sites. The project will draw on and combine research repertoires from various anthropological subfields – ranging from medical anthropology, science ethnography, environmental anthropology, development studies, and political/legal anthropology. The aim is to study the social life of a maternal-child nutrition initiative while adding insight into the question of how anthropologists work with, alongside, and at times in contrast to other fields.
