During 2016 and throughout 2017, CETAPS will be organizing at a global scale, the Commemorative Programme of the 500 Years of the publication of Thomas More’s Utopia. “Utopia500” has a website (www.utopia500.net) meant to contain:
. information on all the events (all over the world) that will be organized in order to celebrate the idea of Utopia.
. the promotion of four outreach activities: “PAN-Utopia 2100”, “Great Utopians: People with ideas that have changed the world”, “The Guestbook Project” and “Ecotopia”.
. a blog in which various solidarity projects are promoted (non-profit and that, in our view, promote utopian thinking).
. Information on the ARUS network (Advanced Research in Utopian Studies).
Additionally, ALIMENTOPIA / Utopian Foodways, the most recent project hosted by CETAPS and ILCML - FLUP, aims to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to the discussion of future conditions of food production and consumption through holistic and prospective utopian thinking, thus aiding the implementation of the emerging field of Food Studies in Portugal.
However, the projects are in need of contributions from specialists in database and network design and administration who may help with the construction of databases and websites, and work along with other trainees specialists in digital arts. Specifically, ALIMENTOPIA / Utopian Foodways project will need specialists who can develop a labelling software (platform where users will be able to submit extracts of literary works in order to create a database).
The projects will benefit from the contribution of several trainees coming from all over Europe and a truly international work environment will be offered, from September 2015 to December 2018, as well as the unique opportunity to participate in a project that will grow in direct proportion to their work. Trainees are welcome to stay from 4 months to 1 year.
Interested in building databases, managing websites and working along other trainees specialists in the digital arts.
Flexibility to adapt to different work activities.
Ability to work in an international environment.
Willingness to contribute to the success of the project.
In the University’s residences: 150 € per month for shared room and 200 € per month for single room (subject to availability) or in a flat to be shared with other students (average 200 € per student per month)
Applications should include a CV and motivation letter. The deadline for receiving applications is a.s.a.p. This is an open call: we will welcome trainees willing to work from September 2017 to December 2018 (and beyond, if needed).
