Application deadline: Jul 23, 2018

5-Year Research Fellowship Central European Modernism (Job Ref: 59533)

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.

The post is part of a research team including two other Research Fellows
and the Primary Investigator, Professor Matthew Rampley.

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:

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

The project team will be based in the Department of Art History, Curating
and Visual Studies.

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.

The language of the project is English, but in addition, candidates will
have advanced knowledge of at least one of German, Hungarian, Czech /
Slovak.

Those seeking further information regarding the project and the position
should contact Matthew Rampley (m.j.rampley at bham.ac.uk).
