Call for Applications: Postdoctoral Researcher Position
Candidates are invited to apply by proposing their own postdoctoral project, and explaining its relevance for the aims and goals of the RTG. Half of the working hours (50%) will be dedicated to individual research on and subsequent publication of this project. The scope and nature of the individual research should be topical, and pertinent to the further conceptual, thematic, and methodological development of the RTG. Possible foci may for instance be critical investigations of new border regimes, the relation of posthumanism and the postcolonial, or alternative genealogies of cosmopolitan thought and practice.
The remaining working hours (50%) will be dedicated to work on joint projects of the RTG. This involves the participation in and contributions to the organisation of RTG events, support in writing funding proposals, and work on joint publications. The postdoctoral researcher should also be able to mediate between doctoral fellows and local as well as international supervisors. In addition, the job entails teaching two seminars per semester (4 hours per week).
