Fellowship: Postdoctoral Fellowship in History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism. The University of Basel, Switzerland
The University of Basel, Switzerland, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism with the appointment scheduled to begin on 1 August 2018. This full-time position is for a period of six years, with a review after two years.
The position is part of the Professorship in the History and Theory of Architecture and Urbanism (Prof. Kenny Cupers), located within the university’s chair of Urban Studies at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. While the fellow will be responsible for instruction and student advising, primary emphasis is on research.

Salary will be internationally competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience. The University of Basel is an equal opportunity employer; women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please supply a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a research statement (maximum two single-spaced pages), a teaching statement with brief description of each class taught, and the names of three references including contact details.
