Subject: [Kultut] 2 Postdoc Positions in Cultural Transformations & Globalisation, UvA, Amsterdam
For the Research Priority Area Cultural Transformations and Globalisation
the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam invites
applications for:
2 Postdocs in Cultural Transformations & Globalisation
1.0 FTE (38 hours per week, for 2 years)
vacancy number W11-210
The study of globalization from the perspective of the humanities is
particularly focused on how cultural practices – including literature,
film, new media, the visual and performative arts and philosophical and
other kinds of theorizing – engage with the increasingly transnational
orientation and organization of contemporary society. Of special concern
are the ways in which everyday experiences of transnationalism generate
new forms and expressions of subjectivity and collectivity. Within this
context, we are looking for a 2-year postdoctoral project that connects
one or more of the four main research clusters of the Faculty’s
globalization program: mobility, sustainability, aesthetics, and/or
connectivity. The project is expected to be theoretically driven by an
interdisciplinary humanities approach, while engaging with clearly defined
objects of analysis and/or conceptual problems. Preference may be given to
candidates working in one or more of the following disciplines: art
history, literary studies, film and media studies, philosophy, or theatre
and performance studies.
Tasks
The postdoctoral researchers will execute their research projects within
the broader context of the research priority area and will occasionally be
called upon to participate in teaching and supervision tasks. The
researchers will cooperate with other members of the priority program that
have backgrounds in various relevant fields, and contribute to organizing
an international conference. Furthermore, candidates are expected actively
to apply for external funding related to the research priority area.
Requirements
* Completed Doctoral degree in a relevant field;
* Publications in peer-reviewed journals or with established academic
publishers;
* Excellent academic writing and presentation skills;
* Excellent social and organizational skills;
* Experience with external fundraising is an advantage.
