Description:

The Graduate School of Humanities Göttingen (GSGG) at the
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen invites applications for:

8 postdoctoral research positions
(ID 8104)

The positions, to begin 1st August, 2013, will be offered as two-year
fixed-term contracts on a full-time basis (currently 39.8 hours per week). In
the event of successful interim evaluation, there is the possibility of
extension of the contract duration to 31st December, 2017. The positions will
be remunerated at the TV-L E13 level (in accordance with the German public
sector pay scale). Under certain circumstances, the position is also suitable
for part-time work.

The postdoctoral researchers will be members of the Graduate School of
Humanities Göttingen (GSGG). The objective of GSGG is to integrate outstanding
early-stage researchers into interdisciplinary and international humanities
research contexts and to prepare them for the next stage of an academic
career. The positions are incorporated into four interdisciplinary research
focus areas reflecting particularly strong areas of the humanities in
Göttingen:
1. Language, cognition and text
2. Multiple modernities
3. Religion
4. Knowledge

Please find detailed information about these research foci at the department
URL.

The successful candidates will have obtained their doctoral degree with
distinction. Applicants should also have a proven research and teaching track
record in at least one of the subjects participating in the research focus
concerned. The postdoctoral researcher will pursue his/her own research
project and should already be in a position to supply a programmatic outline
and present the project in the course of the selection discussions. Further
requirements are very good German language skills, in particular in language
comprehension (B2/C1 level of the Common European Reference Framework or
comparable evidence).

Candidates are expected to be willing to initiate interdisciplinary projects
and engage with the centres and research collaborations involving the
respective research focus area. In particular, it is expected that they will
take on the scholarly conception and organisation of a GSGG Summer School. A
further precondition is interest and willingness to work closely together with
selected doctoral researchers at the GSGG and supervise their work. It is also
desirable that the candidate has undertaken academic stays in countries other
than his/her own.

We explicitly welcome applications from outside Germany. The University of
Göttingen seeks to increase the proportion of women in areas in which they are
currently underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages applications
from female candidates. Disabled persons with equivalent aptitude will be
favoured.

Applications including the usual documentation are to be sent by 03.05.2013,
if possible in electronic form to Dr. Marie Luisa Allemeyer.

Selection talks will take place from 10.-11. 06. 2013 in Göttingen. The
Director of the GSGG, Dr. Marie Luisa Allemeyer will be glad to answer any
questions that may arise in this connection.
In case you do not apply in electronic form, we request that you send us
copies of your application documents. We will destroy the documents after a
holding period of five months. Application documents will only be returned to
you if you provide a self-addressed adequately stamped envelope.
