Doctoral Candidate 7 – EUTERPE: European Literatures and Gender from a Transnational Perspective

The University of Granada (UGR) is looking for a full-time Doctoral Candidate (DC 7) to do research and write a thesis within the Horizon Project “EUTERPE: European Literatures and Gender from a Transnational Perspective” funded under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (HORIZON-MSCA-2021-DN-01-01 – MSCA Doctoral Networks 2021).

The aim of EUTERPE is to offer an innovative approach to rethinking European cultural production in light of complex social and political negotiations that are shaping European spaces and identities at present. EUTERPE intends to do that by bringing together gender and transnational perspectives within an interdisciplinary approach to literary and cultural studies.

The DC 7 will be researching on “Transnational literatures in the making: dialogues with film, social media, streaming platforms, performative arts and new literary genres”. The successful candidate will focus on the ways in which transnational narratives (and experiences) resonate, interpellate or enter into dialogue with other discursive forms of expression such as film, performative arts, social media initiatives, streaming platforms, electronic literature or slam literature. The position will be based at the UGR Women’s Studies Center and the UGR Department of English Studies.

Applications are accepted from candidates with a MA or equivalent degree from Literary Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies and related disciplines (English Studies, Translation Studies, Media Studies, etc). An excellent level of English will be required. Excellent Spanish will also be evaluated positively.

The application deadline is 15th December. For more information about the roles of the doctoral candidate, the requirements of the position and the application process, please visit this webpage.
