Description
The Institute of Culture and History (ICH) at the University of Amsterdam has PhD positions available for excellent candidates, starting on 1 September 2013.
The ICH is a research institute of the University of Amsterdam that focuses on the study of European culture from a historical perspective. A common element in the research conducted within the ICH is that texts and artifacts are studied not only in isolation, but also within the context of the historical structures and processes in which they were produced and in which they functioned. Conversely, these structures are used to explain the specific presentation of texts and artifacts. The research field is not limited to certain historical periods or areas.
The PhD candidate at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam will be appointed for 4 years for 0,8 fte under the terms of employment currently valid for the Faculty. In the first instance, a contract will be given for 16 months, with an extension for the following 32 months on the basis of a positive evaluation.
The salary for the position (on a full-time base) will be € 2042 during the first year (gross per month) and will reach € 2612 during the fourth year, in accordance with the CAO for Dutch universities.
The candidate is required to finish a dissertation within the contract period.
Eligibility
The candidate is normally required to have a research master degree – or an equivalent qualification – in the humanities, obtained no longer than five years ago.
Application
