Beschrijving

The History of Art section at Radboud University is looking for a Full Professor of the History of Art of the Early Modern and/or Modern Era FTE), preferably of the Low Countries (present-day Netherlands and Belgium/Flanders).

The position builds on the section's existing strengths, which include the visual arts of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance, Asian architecture, and global modern and contemporary art.

You are an art historian with wide scholarly interests who links historical research to contemporary issues and practices, such as cultural heritage.

Our section is especially interested in scholars able to study works of art and architecture both in their historical context and in light of scientific approaches and present-day societal issues, such as transnational, transhistorical and postcolonial perspectives, and debates surrounding inclusivity and climate change.

As a Professor of the History of Art and Architecture at Radboud University, you will build on your robust and innovative research agenda, track record of outstanding scholarly publications, and other academic achievements on an international level.

You will develop cross-disciplinary collaborations through innovative teaching and research, mentoring, and forge links with students and faculty across the university and beyond.

You will contribute to the development of courses on all levels, teach both introductory and specialised courses, and take part in study trips, which are integral to the curriculum.

You will also participate in teaching in Faculty-wide minor programs, such as Cultural Heritage and the Public, or European Culture and National Identities.

You will take on a leading role in your field of expertise and present a strong vision of its future development.

You will play a dynamic and proactive role in the Radboud Institute for Culture and History (RICH), one of the research institutes of the Faculty of Arts, contributing to its mission and research programme by participating in and further stimulating its research activities, publishing in high-impact journals and other research outlets, recruiting and supervising PhD candidates, mentoring junior faculty members, and applying for grants.

The professorship is part of the Department of History, Art History and Classics, one of the three departments comprising the Faculty of Arts.

You will represent the Art History section within the university and beyond, serve as its head in a rotating fashion with one other full professor, and work in close connection with its staff members and with the Department as a whole.

You will be expected to serve as a standard bearer for student recruitment, and take on a crucial role in the promotion and visibility of early modern and modern art history, both nationally and internationally.
