You will provide education in a dynamic context with ample opportunities for the development of innovative teaching methods. Your research will be part of the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies (ASH), one of the five research schools of the Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research (AIHR). You will also be expected to participate in a faculty-wide interdisciplinary team focused on strengthening the position of language and culture in the Faculty of Humanities.

As an Assistant Professor in Global Media Histories, you will contribute to the relevant BA and MA programmes in the Media Studies Department with your research and teaching expertise in global media histories as well as your strong grounding in postcolonial/decolonial approaches, preferably extending to the contemporary legacy of colonial media histories. Further research interests in the practices of storytelling through audio-visual language and/or multilingualism connect this position to cross-faculty research on the theme of Language and Culture. A research focus on African, South Asian or South American contexts is especially welcome.
