He’ll also need a web designer later, he says. But this is for the project manager. He received a very generous grant for this project late last year.

Bruno Latour, professor at Sciences Po in Paris, has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) grant for a project called AIME starting the 1er of September 2011 to the end of August 2014. This project (see http://www.bruno-latour.fr/expositions/AIME-short_summary.pdf ) connects philosophy, anthropology of modernism with digital methods in order to organize, on the one hand, an ”augmented publication” using state of the art technology and, on the other, the collective negotiation of its content with interested parties selected and facilitated by a team of mediators. For this endeavor, he is looking for a project manager with financial skills (if possible a knowledge of European accounting processes) and with experience in managing complex projects involving artists, or/and scientists, or/and programmers. Carried most of the time in English, the project manager will have to work closely with the principal investigator, unsuring the smooth running of the financial aspects of the project, the overseeing of the small team of designers and mediators as well as the organization of the various phases of the negotiation to take place in the last phase of the project. The job is based in Paris, it is a full time job for the three years of the project. Please find enclosed the job description.
