LeipzigLab

The Board

The board consists of one working group leader from each working group and makes decisions, for example about future activities of the LeipzigLab.

 

 

LeipzigLab

Working on emerging research fields requires new forms of interdisciplinary networking in an innovative scientific environment. This is what the LeipzigLab represents with its three working groups: Global Health, Children and Nature and Historical Anthropospheres.  

The working groups are supported through funding and personell from the initiative budget for a period of three years each. Additionally, external fellows are invited to expand the national and international dialogue of the LeipzigLab.

Goal of the LeipzigLab

The aim of the LeipzigLab is to take up and further develop new, unconventional and promising questions in a targeted manner. Hereby, the LeipzigLab provides new impetus for the strategic research fields at the Leipzig University and its further development as a research university.

Every year, a working group is established after a university-wide call for proposals.

Current working group: Children and Nature (start in 2020), Global Health (start in 2020), Historical Anthropospheres (start in 2023)

Alumni: Intangibles (2020 – 2022)

 

Fellows in the LeipzigLab

Currently, environmental and cultural scientist André Krebber is a fellow at LeipzigLab. He investigates social human-nature relations from a historical and theoretical perspective. His work focuses on questions of knowledge production and how they are intertwined with human-nature relations, as well as the special role of animals in them.

 

 

Apply for the place of a working group in the LeipzigLab

Every working group is given a postdoc position and is led by two scientists, professors or advanced postdocs from different disciplines. In addition, external fellows are invited to expand the national and international dialogue of the LeipzigLab.

From 23 June to 15 September 2023, it is once again possible to apply for a place in a working group in the LeipzigLab. This will begin its work on 1 January 2024 for three years.
