The position will receive a faculty berth in an academic department appropriate for the successful applicant's terminal degree.

The three-fold mission of I-GMAP is: 1) to bridge the gap between scholars conducting academic research on the causes, risks, and mechanisms for reducing the occurrence of atrocity crimes and the global community of prevention practitioners in both state and non-state roles; 2) to break down barriers that prevent academic disciplines from working together effectively; and 3) to bring all the resources of a modern research university to bear to advance atrocity prevention. The Institute offers a full range of research, policy analysis, advocacy, convening, and academic programs, including the Master of Science, the Graduate Certificate, and the Undergraduate Minor in Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention.

The visiting position normally carries a teaching load of either four or five courses per academic year, as determined by the Co-Directors.

Other courses may be graduate and/or advanced undergraduate courses to serve as electives for the MS in GMAP.

I-GMAP welcomes qualified applicants holding a doctorate from any academic discipline, provided that the applicant is able to document a substantive connection to genocide and mass atrocity prevention, broadly conceived. While not required, documentation of substantial experience of collaborative work with non-academic partners (such as consulting, policy analysis, work with non-governmental organizations) is highly desirable.

The Visiting Professor of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention is invited to participate in the full range of I-GMAP activities, including interactions with resident and visiting practitioners and faculty fellows, and I-GMAP's annual Frontiers ofPrevention forum.

The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts (SAVA) sets out to radically transform current debates on the Anthropocene, addressing the major lacuna in existing accounts by establishing the Socialist Anthropocene as a novel conceptual framework that asserts the constitutive role of the twentieth century environmental histories of socialism in the formation of the new geological age. It is the first large-scale interdisciplinary research project that institutes the Socialist Anthropocene as a new field of study within the critical corpus concerned with challenging and decentring the West-centric discourses of the Anthropocene. The approach of the project is to reconstruct the histories of the Socialist Anthropocene through visual arts led interdisciplinary research, which entails analysing historical artworks and engaging with contemporary art practices that act as a catalyst to integrate the insights of multiple disciplines and as a critical agent to pose ambitious and expansive questions, challenging assumptions and engendering new cross-disciplinary paradigms to illuminate the specificities of the Socialist Anthropocene.

About the role

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will carry out an individual research project into an aspect of the environmental history of socialism. They will also contribute to the reconstruction of the histories of the Socialist Anthropocene with a focus on the themes of extractivism, infrastructure and agriculture by engaging in an interdisciplinary dialogue with fellow members of the SAVA team. Based at the Postsocialist Art Centre in the Institute of Advanced Studies UCL, the successful candidate will contribute through their work on the environmental history of socialism to the research outcomes of the SAVA project.

About you

The Postdoctoral Fellow in the Environmental History of Socialism will have a research specialisation in Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union or another global region of the socialist world. Projects based on case studies or comparative approaches to the environmental history of socialism during the great acceleration of the twentieth century are likely to be of particular relevance. The candidate will hold a PhD in Environmental History or a related discipline awarded within the last three years, although career breaks will also be taken into account. They will have a strong record of peer-reviewed publications and other equivalent research outputs. They will be expected to demonstrate an openness to interdisciplinary and artistic methodologies, as well as skills in dissemination and communication of research and a willingness to participate fully in public facing events.
 

What we offer

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

• 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
• Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
• Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
