- You have a working proficiency of English and preferably Turkish
- The project is based in Amsterdam, remote work is a possibility, but you are expected to be able to be present in Amsterdam at least every month.

In both societal and academic debates on these topics the Meertens Institute aims to play a leading role.

During the project you will be able to further develop your research interests and receive further training in working in interdisciplinary research teams. You will consolidate your expertise in contemporary challenges involving religion, heritage and polarisation as well as the importance of media.
