Dear All,
This is a highly interdisciplinary project drawing from Geography, Memory/Heritage Studies, Architecture and Politics. I thought it might be of interest to some on this mailing list.
3 year Research Associate (Post-Doc) role on Leverhulme funded project 'Afterlives of colonial incarceration: African prisons, architecture and politics' is now open for applications. https://jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastle-Research-AssociateAssistant-Afterlives/797131901/ Jobs.ac.uk link - https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/COY229/research-associate-assistant-afterlives
I am very happy to hear from anyone with questions about the post, please do drop me a line [log in to unmask]
Some information on the project and role:
This is an exciting opportunity for you as a motivated, aspiring early career researcher to establish your career. You will be given scope to develop and pursue your own research as part of a talented team working together on this new interdisciplinary research project. As part of the role, you will be supported to publish articles both independently and with other team members, develop innovative research methodologies and establish networks with scholars working on Africa in a range of disciplines. The project includes funding for conference attendance and to support fieldwork.
Afterlives of colonial incarceration investigates the contested memory politics surrounding the reuse of ex-carceral sites (including prisons and detention camps) in four African countries - Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya. We will explore how African states, citizens, and others engage with the carceral architectural debris of colonialism. In doing so we will examine how the memory of colonial carceral practices is part of the ongoing production of group identities, sense of place in the world and the production of imagined futures.
The project is based in the Politics department within the School of Geography Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University. You would be joining a small project team working closely with Dr. Laura Routley as the Principal Investigator and a PhD student working on the South African element of the project. You would also be working with Prof. Iain Jackson in the School of Architecture at Liverpool University who is the Co-Investigator on the project. The project additionally has connections to colleagues within the School of Media Culture and Heritage at Newcastle University. So, you would find a comfortable home from various disciplinary backgrounds.
This is a full-time post, with a start date of 1 October 2022, for a period of 36 months.
Best
Laura
