The Research Group Cultures of Mobility in Europe (COME), Institute for Cultural Anthropology, Freiburg University, Germany, invites applications for 1 post-doc position (100% ) and 2 doctoral positions (50%) The research group COME explores practices of mobility in Europe by investigating minorities with mobile traditions and mobile professional milieus, such as the circus, Sinti and Roma, *alternative travelers*, and others. The research period ranges from the beginnings of the modern nation state to the present, with a focus on the period since 1945. *We welcome empirical and historical case studies on specific mobile groups*, which address COME’s core research questions: *How are traveling ways of life and mobile professions practiced in Europe?* *What kinds of mobile strategies and mobility patterns have specific groups developed and on which grounds? What are the major zones of close encounter with the sedentary population? How have the interrelations evolved over time, especially in the context of changing residency and mobility policies?* * * * * *At:Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg <http://uni-freiburg.academia.edu/> , Institute for Cultural Anthropology/Folkloristics<http://uni-freiburg.academia.edu/Departments/Institute_for_Cultural_Anthropology_Folkloristics> Location:Freiburg, Germany *
