  • Present research at national and international conferences.
  • Collaborate with the team on research dissemination, including co-organizing workshops and conferences, and preparing a collected volume.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g. digital humanities, computational linguistics, comics studies, comparative literature, media studies, cultural studies, cultural analysis).
  • Demonstrable grounding in comics studies and one or more of the research fields central to the project: graphic medicine, critical disability studies, critical medical and health humanities, cultural analysis.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of and experience with digital methods, including data collection, quantitative and qualitative analysis, programming languages (e.g. Python, R), scripting and coding, and preferably, knowledge of and experience with natural language processing (NLP).
  • Outstanding research skills as evidenced by strong BA and MA transcripts, and motivation to conduct high-quality research with the aim of publication in top journals.
  • Affinity for working interdisciplinarily, collaboratively, and within a team of researchers.
  • Excellent command of English (C1-C2) and very good command of reading Dutch and French (B2-C1).
  • Willingness to relocate to The Netherlands for the duration of the PhD and travel abroad for conferences and workshops.
