About this position

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 postdoc will join an interdisciplinary research team working on the many forms of colonial violence and their afterlives, with a strong emphasis on how violence was experienced, embodied, and carried into the postcolonial present.

The project brings together scholars from fields such as history, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies to examine conquest, war, displacement, expropriation, urban destruction, racial discrimination, language suppression, and other forms of imperial and symbolic violence. The successful candidate will develop an independent historical research project connected to this theme while contributing to the collective life of the project.

Alongside their own research, the postdoc will play an active role in the organisation and public life of the project. Responsibilities include helping to organise the final colloquium, supporting the speaker series, managing publicity and the project website, and assisting with the administration and archiving of an oral history initiative. The postdoc will also participate in regular meetings with the principal investigator and the wider research team, and will be expected to engage with seminars at IREMAM and other project-related academic events.

The position is embedded in IREMAM’s research environment at the Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme (MMSH) in Aix-en-Provence, within Aix-Marseille Université. The advert highlights a collaborative, multilingual setting and a project that combines historical research with public-facing scholarly activity.
