We're Hiring: Postdoctoral Researcher, UNICArt Project

17 Jul 2024

Applications are invited for the role of Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Theatre in association with the Future Humanities Institute, and the UNICArt Thematic Line of UNIC.

UNICArt is the Arts/Culture/Creativity thematic line of the European University of Cities in Post-Industrial Transition. The UNICArt Thematic Line is co-led by Dr Yvon Bonenfant (Department of Theatre, University College Cork) and Prof. Pauwke Berkers (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and a wide coalition of board members and interested parties across UNIC manage its activities. While this post engages with the UNIC consortium, you will be firmly based at UCC in Cork, Ireland.

Within UNICArt, for this post, you will work with Project Lead Dr Yvon Bonenfant of the Department of Theatre, UCC, and Director of the Future Humanities Institute, in the context of the ten UNIC member institutions, to develop transversal applications of artistic research methodologies within and outside the artistic sphere. This post may appeal to candidates who have formally construed research experience that has applied some of the range of artistic research methodologies to projects.

You will survey, assess and compare and contrast the range of methodological frameworks currently understood as being part of: ‘AR’ (artistic research), PaR (practice as research in the arts or practice-research), performance as research, research-creation,  the ‘artistic sciences’,  arts-based research,  embodied/somatic artistic research, and related, artistically -focused,  hyper-qualitative methodologies, across international territories.

0.8 FTE, 36 Months, Fixed-Term, Part-Time Post.
