Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Project Assistant to join our team at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be part of the Horizon Europe research project, DIGHT-NET, Sustainable, Usable and Visible Digital Cultural Heritage: Twinning for Excellence.

About the Project:

The DIGHT-NET project aims to enhance research capacity, broaden the research partnership, and increase the visibility and attractiveness of digital cultural heritage studies. The project will prototype a Twinned Digital Archive of Juri Lotman and Umberto Eco and build a semiotic theory of digital cultural heritage.

Your Role:

As a Research Project Assistant, you will be responsible for archival recording and researching new cataloging and collection management strategies. You will also develop a virtually accessible online platform for a new digital-mapping technology using three-dimensional modeling software. Additionally, you will organize project workshops, seminars, and training events with the project team members. You will also assist the research team with project reports and publications.

Requirements:

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced candidate with a Master's degree in Heritage and Memory Studies, Museums Studies, Cultural Studies, or a related Humanities discipline. You should have research skills in the theory of (digital) heritage, memory, and museum studies, demonstrated by a Master's thesis and the capacity to develop a track record of publishing monographs, edited volumes, or in academic journals. You should also have a strong cooperative attitude and willingness to engage in collaborative research. Good social and networking skills and interest in communicating academic research to non-academic audiences are also essential. A good command of English (speaking and writing) is required.

What We Offer:

We offer a temporary employment contract for a period of 12 months with a probationary period of two months. Based on a positive evaluation, the contract will be extended with 24 months. The employment contract is for 5.5 hours a week. The preferred starting date is 1 October 2024. Your salary, depending on relevant experience on commencement of the employment contract, ranges between €3,186 to €4,255 gross per month on the basis of a full working week of 38 hours. This sum does not include the 8% holiday allowance and the 8.3% year-end allowance. The Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities is applicable. We also offer excellent possibilities for further professional development and education, an enthusiastic, inspiring, and professional team, and an inspiring academic and international work environment in the heart of Amsterdam.
