Deadline for applications: 25 August 2016
At Konstfack (University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design), in Stockholm, Sweden, we are recruiting doctoral students for the doctoral programme in Art, Technology and Design, which is a great programme.
The doctoral programme Art, Technology and Design (KTD) is a collaboration between KTH and Konstfack. The programme has its basis in the major contemporary challenges faced by society – for example climate change, urbanisation processes, migration, increasing social and economic inequality and the dwindling supply of non-renewable resources. These challenges require new approaches and a holistic, process-oriented way of thinking. The overall objective is to unite research and education with a radical rethinking of the individual-society-environment relationship and the transition required for sustainable social development. Artistic exploration and experimentation is seen here as a central component of this development.
We are particularly looking for those with a background in socially conscious design, craft or art, who are willing to connect the practices of making with advanced theoretical and methodological perspectives. Konstfack's generously equipped workshops provide unique opportunities to develop knowledge through action and materials. The studies are based on the programme's courses and seminars, as well as on the student's individual research project. We are looking for well-qualified and strongly motivated doctoral students who want to contribute to the development of new knowledge. This is where we can shape dynamic encounters between artistic and scientific approaches and between three different perspectives: art, technology and design.
