About this position

The Institute of Research and Study on the Arab and Islamic Worlds (IREMAM) at Aix-Marseille Université is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the project “Violence and the Colonial Project: Embodied Violence in a (Post)Colonial World.” The project brings together scholars from multiple disciplines to investigate how colonial violence was experienced, embodied, remembered, and carried into postcolonial life.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a research team focused on colonial violence in Algeria and the broader experience of North Africans in France. The role combines collaborative research with an independent project that fits the theme of colonial or postcolonial violence. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing work that uses archival sources and oral histories, and will help develop scholarly and public-facing outputs from the project.

The position is embedded in IREMAM’s research environment and includes regular interaction with the principal investigator, team meetings, seminars, and project-related academic events. The fellowship also involves supporting the organization of an international workshop and collaborating with other postdoctoral researchers and principal investigators.
