Subject: Postdoctoral Researcher Visualizing the Unknown - Huygens Institute, Amsterdam
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to the advertised 2-year
Postdoctoral position in the Visualizing the Unknown project:
Postdoctoral researcher Visualizing the Unknown - Huygens Instituut
<http://www.visualizingtheunknown.com/>
Location: Amsterdam
Max hours per week: 40,00
Max salary:*5.929
Duration of agreement: 2 years
Apply until: 09/30/2024
/Visualizing the Unknown/ is a NWO-funded research project hosted by the
Huygens Institute (Amsterdam) and the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck
Institute for Art History (Rome).
The project examines the emerging study of the micro-world in the
seventeenth century, with a focus on the manner in which images came to be
used in scientific observation, representation and communication.
We are currently searching for a new team member in the form of a
postdoctoral researcher. This two-year position aims at providing a
wider context to the processes and results of microscopic observation in
the form of drawings, printed images, and other art media. This
postdoctoral project will go beyond the uses of images only, and will
compare two-dimensional representations to objects as in for example
taxidermy, herbaria, life-casts and nature prints, as well as scale
models. In this way we hope to frame discussions about images in a wider
context of ad vivum, abstraction, and objectivity.
The postdoctoral researcher will physically be based at the Huygens
Institute in Amsterdam, in the department Knowledge– and Art Practices.
The researcher will takeup a central role in the interdisciplinary and
international research team of Visualizing the Unknown. Our partnership
with the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge (UK) will give the candidate
the opportunity to spend up to six months of their research time in
Cambridge working with the paintings, drawings, and prints collections
in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Special Collections at the University
Library, and the collections at the Cambridge University Herbarium,
Zoology Museum and Whipple Museum of the History of Science.
To apply we expect the candidate to write a research proposal that fits
within the overall framework of the Visualizing the Unknown-project.
Close collaboration with all team members is self-evident The
postdoctoral position will be mentored by Prof. Dr. Eric Jorink (Huygens
Institute) and Prof. Dr. Erma Hermens (Fitzwilliam Museum).
The position will start by December 2024 or as soon as possible after.
We are looking for someone:
* Who has finished their PhD in a related topic (at the start of the
appointment);
* Who has a good knowledge of English; at least passive knowledge of
Dutch, and at least one other modern European language;
* Who has a background in (technical) art history and/or history of
knowledge;
* Who is both a team player and an independent thinker and researcher;
* You are registered in the Netherlands at the start and during
employment.
* Who can think outside-the-box
What we offer:
* An international work environment with many possibilities to
collaborate;
* Possibilities to work at partner institutions for part of the time;
* Possibilities to organize events (outreach, a small exhibit,
symposium, etc).
To apply please prepare:
* Cover letter
* Research proposal (max. 1000 words + bibliography)
* CV
* Writing sample
* 2 names and contact details of referees (no letters of
recommendation required)
Please upload all documents, after finishing the application and you
have received a login you will able to upload an additional document by
the deadline. Interviews will take place in the week of October 28th 2024.
