------------------------------------------------ The Department of Arts and Culture Studies of the Erasmus University Rotterdam has a vacancy for: Associate Professor(UHD) in Cultural Heritage (f/m, 1.0 FTE) Cultural heritage, both tangible and non-tangible, reflects the way we deal with our past. Heritage is a component of a cultural policy. It embodies an economic and legal entity, functions as a historical source, as an aesthetic object, serves as a tourist destination, and is the subject of controversies among nations. The global presence of heritage does not imply that heritage is divided equally everywhere or that all groups and people control their own heritage directly. The identity that individuals, groups and people derive from their heritage is constantly being defined differently within a permanent process of appropriations and exclusions. The dynamic way that culture has been globalised, visualised, virtualised and presented in the media means that heritage organisations will have to adapt their definition of preservation, management and presentation of heritage, and in the future this will lead to new relationships between heritage organisations, the public and heritage communities. *Job description* The successful candidate is expected to: Research - Carry out internationally oriented, empirical research that is publishable in established international refereed journals; - Contribute actively to the development of the Department's research - Expand the Department's national and international research connections; - Contribute to the generation of additional research funding from national and international funding agencies and other organizations - Supervise PhD students, postdocs and other researchers - Participate actively in a recognized Dutch research school, and relevant international scientific associations and networks.
