<br>
5-Year Research Fellowship Central European Modernism (Job Ref: 59533)<br>
<br>
The University of Birmingham is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the team for the project Continuity or Rupture? Art and Architecture in Central Europe, 1918-1939 (CRAACE). Funded by the European Research Council, the project will start on 1 September 2018 and last until 31 August 2023. The University is seeking applicants able to start on or as soon as possible after 1 September 2018.<br>
<br>
The post is part of a research team including two other Research Fellows and the Primary Investigator, Professor Matthew Rampley.<br>
<br>
The project is concerned with the legacy of the Habsburg Empire in the visual arts after 1918. Specifically, it asks: When new political elites and social structures emerge out of a historical rupture, how are art and architecture affected? Through comparative analysis of the visual arts in 3 states built on the ruins of the Habsburg Empire (Austria, Hungary and [former] Czechoslovakia), this project examines how such political discontinuity affected art and architecture between 1918 and 1939. The project is organised into 4 themes:<br>
<br>
1. Vernacular modernisms, nostalgia and the avant-garde 2. Presenting the state: world fairs and exhibitionary cultures 3. Piety, reaction and renewal 4. Contested histories: monuments, memory and representations of the historical past<br>
<br>
The project team will be based in the Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will be an excellent researcher, holding a PhD or equivalent qualifications and with extensive research experience and scholarship within the required subject specialism, plus a track record of working in areas of linguistic and disciplinary complexity.<br>
<br>
The language of the project is English, but in addition, candidates will have advanced knowledge of at least one of German, Hungarian, Czech / Slovak.<br>
<br>
Those seeking further information regarding the project and the position should contact Matthew Rampley (<a href="mailto:m.j.rampley@bham.ac.uk" target="_blank">m.j.rampley@bham.ac.uk</a>).<br>
