The Posts

We seek to appoint outstanding researchers to help form the Centre’s interdisciplinary team. We expect to appoint a combination of PhD graduates and more experienced postdoctoral researchers. Appointment at Grade 8 will reflect an outstanding record of high quality research in relevant fields, and potential capacity to lead one of the Centre’s six workstreams (listed below – see further information for details). Applicants should indicate whether they wish to be considered at Grade 7, Grade 8, or both.

The areas of specialization are open but must relate directly to the Centre’s focus on place and memory. The successful applicants will have a PhD and an established track record in one or more fields relevant to the study of place and memory. We expect to appoint a diverse group of researchers with a range of distinctive backgrounds to form a strongly collaborative interdisciplinary team. Possible areas of research background include (but are not limited to) philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, geography, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, urban policy and design, architecture, environmental studies, indigenous studies, public health, migration studies, international development, history, heritage, literature, museum studies, memory studies, politics, design, art history and theory, practice-based creative research, human-computer interaction, gaming and new media, and science studies. Applicants should indicate in their cover letter how their research experience and skill set relates to studies of place and memory, and (where possible) to specific workstreams as listed below.
