The University Research Priority Program (URPP) "Human Reproduction Reloaded | H2R" explores rapidly developing medical technologies in the field of human reproduction, the societal challenges they pose and their legal implications. This interdisciplinary positioned URPP is hosted by the Faculty of Law and brings together researchers from six faculties as well as from various disciplines from the humanities, social, medical and natural sciences. The URPP's phase 2 (2025-2028) revolves around three main research foci: family, kinship and gender; declining fertility and non-reproduction; and CRISPR. More information about the URPP, the people involved, the research and the activities to date can be found here.

The PhD positions are part of sub-project 3 that traces the global entanglements of human reproduction through emperical, qualitative case studies from different parts of the world. The PhD positions will be attached to the Chair for Social Transformation Processes at the Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies (Prof. Dr. Annuska Derks).
