The Doctoral School of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna invites applications for three 3-year positions of University Assistants (predoc). Successful candidates will work in one of the 16 Departments of the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies and will join one of the DSHCS' seven research clusters (Ancient, Byzantine and Medieval Studies; East European and Eurasian Studies; Archaeology and Material Culture; Art History and Visual Culture; Social and Economic Spaces; State, Politics, and Governance in Historical Perspective; Women’s and Gender History). They transcend periods, disciplines, and regions and offer an exceptional opportunity to study in a truly cross-disciplinary setting.

Predoctoral University Assistants are expected to conduct research and write a dissertation, teach classes independently on Bachelor’s and Master’s level according to the collective bargaining agreement, participate in departmental and the DSHCS activities and workshops, and present research results at conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
