The successful candidate will participate in the research project Revival of Traumatic Pasts. Colonization, Nazism, and Fascism in contemporary German and Italian Fiction and Memory Activism.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for a work package that explores the reordering of the 'urban imaginary' in Italian cities by key activists and political actors, discussing its relevance for the debate on Italian identity. This work package will investigate the interplay and conflict of memory discourses between diverse agents, showing how they sustain, reclaim, or entangle memories of Italy's fascist and colonial past with varying power capacities.

The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of 2 years. The starting date is on 1st of March 2025 or after agreement.

The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). The application must include a letter stating your specific interest, motivation, and qualifications for the project, curriculum vitae, documentation of qualifications, and a complete list of publications.

The employment as postdoc is temporary. Employment stops automatically by the end of the period. An upgrade of pedagogical qualifications is not part of the position. The successful applicant will participate in the research project and will be responsible for a work package that explores the reordering of the 'urban imaginary' in Italian cities.
