The Cluster of Excellence 'Understanding Written Artefacts' is looking for a Research Associate to pursue an independent research project that fits its overall comparative research profile, and to contribute to the collaborative research activities of the Cluster.
The Cluster offers the exciting opportunity to contribute to research on written artefacts in an international team of researchers from across 40 disciplines in the humanities, the natural sciences, and computer science. Within this highly inspiring and collaborative environment, the successful candidate will pursue their own research project as well as contribute to the Cluster’s research programme as a whole through active engagement in its internal and wider research activities. Activities include participation in Research Field meetings, academic publications, organising scholarly events, and maintaining and developing cooperation and relevant networks, amongst others.
The successful candidate will become a member of the Cluster and can apply for additional funding. The Cluster features a range of facilities and supportive measures from which its researchers can benefit. Pending the Cluster’s further funding beyond 31 December 2025, Research Associates will be able to apply for an extension of their project for up to three additional years.
The position is full-time and fixed term (starting as soon as possible, until 31 December 2025). Applications must be submitted until 24 May 2023. More information on the position and how to apply is available here.
