[ecrea] Postdoctoral Fellowship in Transnational (Post)socialist Media Networks

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Transnational (Post)socialist Media Networks

Concordia University invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow of 
film and media whose research focuses on the relationship - either in 
comparative or transnational terms - between the former Communist bloc 
and the Global South.

The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to enter into dialogue with the 
research projects already underway in the department of Cinema under the 
auspices of the Global Emergent Media Lab and the CURC in Transnational 
Media Arts and Cultures with the goal of interrogating the shifting 
theoretical questions about the Cold War, colonialism and their legacies 
and developing a shared conceptual model for describing and assessing 
these geopolitical flows either from a historical or contemporary 
perspective. We invite applications from both scholars and artists 
engaged in critical practice, with the demonstrated expertise in 
critical training relevant to the topic.

Academic qualifications required: PhD in cinema and media studies, or 
related fields, and experience conducting research in (post)socialist or 
Global South contexts. An ideal candidate will also incorporate media 
practice in their work (documentary, sonic ethnography, archiving, 
database, web projects, etc.)

The prestigious Horizon Postdoctoral Fellowships are valued at $47,500 
per year plus benefits and full access to Concordia’s services.

Application deadline:
September 1, 2018
Fellowship start date:
January 1, 2019
