In the Department of Culture, artistic, knowledge and media-historical aspects of East European cultures are researched and taught. In our seminars and research projects, we examine how cultures continually redefine themselves through symbolic forms (especially literature, visual arts, film, theatre, performance) and what role they play - historically and currently - in the social practices of Eastern European cultures (e.g. cultures of memory, protest cultures, gender cultures, work cultures, living cultures, communication cultures). Research and teaching are oriented towards cultural comparatism with comparative perspectives on the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Job Description:

The duties of the position include:
- Supporting the head of the Department of Culture in research and teaching
- Research and provision of literature and/or teaching and research materials
- technical and organisational support for scientific, public and teaching events (incl. preparation of event announcements)
- Support in the maintenance of the department's homepage

Desirable:

- EDV knowledge
- Experience in using the FU's content management system
- Good knowledge of English and an Eastern European language (preferably Ukrainian)
- Studies in Eastern European Studies or General and Comparative Literature
- well-founded interests in the field of Eastern European cultures and literatures
