The School of Communication and Culture is committed to diversity and encourages all qualified applicants to apply regardless of their personal background.

The position

The Department of German and Romance Languages has a significant international research and teaching profile in the study of the language, literature and history of and social conditions in Germany, the Francophone countries, Spain and the Spanish American countries.

We are looking for applicants who are specialised in contemporary Spanish and/or Latin American cultural studies and have experience in research related to different cultural media and artefacts (visual and plastic arts, social media, performance and literature etc). Experience from international research networks will be considered an advantage.

In sum, we are looking for an innovative and dedicated applicant who will strengthen the research and teaching profiles of the department nationally and internationally as well as contributing to Aarhus University’s core activities in the areas of research, teaching and supervision, talent development and knowledge exchange.

Research

The Spanish and Latin American section of the Department of German and Romance Languages at Aarhus University has a pronounced international orientation and a robust research network. Over the last 10-15 years, this section has developed a significant stronghold within cultural memory studies and a decolonial approach to cultural studies.

We are looking for an applicant who can maintain and further develop this profile. The successful applicant will be expected to spearhead digital approaches to teaching and research not only within the Spanish and Latin American section, but also in a wider context within the School of Communication and Culture.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop research projects that result in academic publications. The successful applicant will also be expected to participate in the research community at the department in terms of collaborative research projects with internal and external partners, as well as participating in applications for external research funding and forging strong international partnerships.

Please indicate in your application which courses you could teach. The successful applicant will also be expected to apply innovative teaching methods.
