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 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.
