• Excellent written and spoken skills in English and in French.
• The ability to conduct field research (archives, interviews &c). 
• Experience in the digital processing of collected data, or willingness to train in this area. 

Description of the Project:

WISE explores the contact areas between poetic writing and scientific discourse through the perspectives of women, who were long deprived of a formal scientific education. It focuses on the intensely imaginative and creative engagement British women poets have had with the objects, methods and languages of the sciences, and with their philosophical and political implications. It ranges from late 18^th-century poetesses to contemporary voices that perpetuate the questionings opened during the Romantic Era, an age of political, scientific and aesthetic revolutions when disciplinary boundaries were redrawn. The project takes Britain as its epicenter, but also aims to draw a series of comparisons with women poets from other anglophone countries, in order to examine the ways in which the aesthetic possibilities awakened by these revolutions rippled across the English-speaking world through complex filiations. It will develop along four lines: (1) the relationship to scientific authority and power, (2) the imagination of the gendered body in a creative and often subversive dialogue with the life sciences, (3) the material practices and technologies available to women, and (4) writing in the Anthropocene.

The successful applicant will be expected to work in collaboration with the project coordinator on the following aspects of the project: 

• (1) complement and stabilize the corpus of primary sources – in particular locate and digitalize some of the unpublished or unavailable material in the main corpus (poems) as well as additional primary sources (letters, journals, field notes…) – and conduct interviews with poetesses; 
• NB. This will involve research trips for which the successful candidate will be allocated a research grant.  
• (2) review secondary sources; 
• (3) analyze the poems, the complementary material and the interviews. This will provide the basis for the creation of a database of digitized poems and additional resources (letters, field notes, diaries, etc.).
• (4) contribute to the organization of scientific events in connection with the project.

“Translating and Expressing the Experience of Extreme Violence since 1945”

Duration: from 2023/10/01 to 2024/09/30
Annual gross salary: € 33,600
Application deadline: 9 June 2023
Host institution: IMAGER (Université Paris-Est Créteil, France)

This postdoctoral project is designed as an interdisciplinary endeavour that seeks to combine literary and social science (history, sociology) perspectives. It aims to study how a very peculiar experience—that of extreme violence—is translated into discourses that condition both their intelligibility and their very unintelligibility. A starting point is that the Holocaust has durably altered the discursive modes whereby such testimonies may be expressed. Hence the need to explore the problematic conditions that allow such discourse to emerge by resorting to a multilingual, interdisciplinary perspective—as such testimonies after 1945 are indeed characterised by the multiple languages and disciplines to which they pertain.

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Faculty of Languages and Humanities, Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies, is looking for a four-year full-time PhD researcher in the field of literary studies as part of the FWO funded research project “Broadcast Biographies. Innovations in Genre and Medium (1945-2020)”.

1. Project

This project is situated at the intersection of life writing, literary radio studies and cultural memory studies. It examines the literary radio biography in Britain and (West-)Germany in the period 1945-2020 along three complementary lines: its production and reception history, its genre and media conventions and its cultural memory function. Despite the rich history of biographical writing on and for radio, little research exists on the radio biography as genre, let alone on its role as a potential catalyst for genre and media innovation. Neither the vast scholarship on life writing nor the field of radio studies have paid systematic attention to biographies created specifically for the radio. Still, as this project aims to show, the radio biography gives us a unique insight in the ongoing mediation of life narratives and the history of radio itself. By writing lives for the radio, literary authors such as Alfred Andersch, Martin Esslin, Gerhard Rühm, Angela Carter and Tom Stoppard also chronicle the life of radio itself, reflecting on the possibilities and limits of both genre and medium.

In this project, we mainly focus on productions by (post)modernist and neo-avant-garde authors. We aim to study the genre and function of the broadcast biography, including its role in the transnational exchange between the two central national broadcasting cultures.

2. Position description

We offer a four-year full-time PhD position (subject to annual positive evaluation). The successful candidate will carry out the project as a doctoral researcher in close collaboration with the two supervisors at the Centre for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (CLIC) at VUB. The candidate will write a doctoral dissertation on the subject of the literary radio biography, carry out archival work on selected authors and productions (in the UK and Germany), (co-)publish the results of the research in academic articles and books, present at national and international conferences and co-host scientific meetings. The candidate will complete the doctoral training programme of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at VUB and is expected to defend their doctoral dissertation in 2026. Please be aware that the position requires you to be present in the department on a regular basis (3 days per week). 

3. Profile

• You hold a master’s degree in (literature in) English, (literature in) German, comparative literature (or a comparable degree) or you will have obtained this by the start date of this position.
• You demonstrate excellent study results. Previous academic experience (publications, conference presentations, etc.) will be considered an asset.
• You have a demonstrable interest in twentieth-century and/or contemporary literature, life writing, biography studies, literary radio studies, sound studies, media history or cultural memory studies. Previous experience with archival research will be considered an asset.
• You are an enthusiastic researcher, capable of conducting research both independently and in team.
• You are willing to conduct research stays abroad in function of archival research and academic exchange.

4. Offer

• We offer a four-year full-time doctoral position (requiring enrolment as a doctoral student at VUB), subject to an annual positive evaluation.
• The planned starting date is 1 October 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.
• You will receive a salary in one of the grades defined by the Belgian government.

In addition, you are provided with a shared office space and a work laptop, library access, social and health benefits, and free access to Belgian public transport for your commute to campus.
