Postdoctoral Researcher: The situation of urban essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/p>\n

\n

The research team \u201cSpatial Development and Urban Policy \u2013 SPUR\u201d led by Prof. Dr David Kaufmann and based at the Institute for Spatial and Landscape Development invites applications for a\u00a0Postdoctoral Researcher who examines the situation of urban essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0The position is financed within the National Research Program 80 \u201cCovid-19 in Society\u201d funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.<\/p>\n

They are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher who examines the experiences, struggles and policy demands of non-healthcare urban essential workers (such as bus drivers, day care personnel, waste collection workers, or delivery workers) during the pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been unequal depending on the resources and opportunities people have to cope with the multiple consequences of the pandemic. These inequalities have been exacerbated in cities, especially with regard to urban labour issues. While some workers could continue their work from home, others had to step out and up, becoming or being identified as what they call now \u2018essential\u2019. Intersectional burdens, expressed in the overlapping of race, class, and gender, have been reproduced throughout the pandemic, as care and maintenance work have fallen disproportionately on the shoulders of women, people of color, and migrants.<\/p>\n

They are going to study the experiences, struggles and policy demands of non-healthcare urban essential workers with qualitative and quantitative social science methods in the five biggest Swiss cities. Furthermore, they will study how Swiss decision-makers and the wider population perceive and valuate these workers as well as policies in support of them. The main goals are to understand the effects of the pandemic on so-called essential workers, to contribute towards the creation of policy measure that allows protect vulnerable workers and to better respond to future crises.<\/p>\n
