The Department of German Studies at Brown University intends to appoint an International Humanities Postdoctoral Research Associate for a duration of two years, beginning July 1, 2025. This position is to be held jointly at the Department of German Studies and the Cogut Institute for the Humanities. We are seeking candidates pursuing innovative and conceptually demanding research in German Film and Media Studies, including German Visual Culture more broadly conceived (such as photography). Special consideration will be given to scholars of German film, media, and visual culture who investigate the theoretical foundations and conceptual presuppositions of their field. We are also open to scholarly approaches informed by what in the German-speaking world is known as Bildwissenschaft.

Please submit a letter of application, CV, dissertation abstract, writing sample in English or German (ca. 20 pages), diversity statement, teaching evaluations, and 3 letters of confidential recommendation. Applicants must apply online via Interfolio http://apply.interfolio.com/159697. Applications will be reviewed beginning January 21, 2025 and accepted until the position is filled.
