The Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (ISEK), University of Zurich, are recruiting two fully funded PhD researchers for the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)-funded project “OFFGRID: Energy Futures in Southeast Asia”. The project explores how small-scale, off-grid solar systems are reshaping everyday life, labour, and power relations across urban and rural contexts in Indonesia and Vietnam.
Each PhD will develop an independent subproject:
• Rural Vietnam – household solar, agrivoltaics, and rural livelihoods
• Urban Indonesia – rooftop solar, inequality, and energy access
These positions offer the opportunity to conduct multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and contribute to cutting-edge debates on energy transitions beyond technical framings.
