We are currently seeking applications for two Postdoctoral Research Associates in Visual and Material Medical Humanities.
The post holder will be responsible for a) designing and conducting an original programme of individual research that aligns with the aims and objectives of The Visual and Material Lab and b) working with the Lab leader and other members of the Lab team to devise and deliver activities and outputs that extend the profile of visual and material methods in relation to medical humanities research.
The successful candidates will be appointed to the IMH and a suitable academic department within the University (e.g. the School of Modern Languages and Cultures or the Department of History in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities; or the Departments of Archaeology, Anthropology or Sociology in the Faculty of Social Science).
We welcome applications from researchers in a range of disciplines, including, but not limited to art and creative practice-based research; art history and visual and material culture; film and media studies; visual and material history; visual anthropology and other social science disciplines with a focus on visual and material media and methods. We would be particularly interested in hearing from applicants working on race and/or neurodiversity, and applicants whose research engages contexts beyond English-speaking cultures and/or the global North.
