About this position
This postdoctoral position is part of the ERC Advanced Grant project MOVING at the CNRS, led by Prof. Véronique BENEÏ. The project investigates the embodied traces and memories of African slavery in South America, with the advertised post focused on the Colombian Caribbean, especially the Magdalena region.
The successful candidate will contribute to the development of ethnographic and interdisciplinary methodologies for studying post-slavery and diasporic contexts. The research combines fieldwork on everyday life and somatic dimensions with broader reflections on how slavery is remembered, experienced, and reinterpreted through bodies, social practices, and community life.
The position also includes active participation in the collective life of the project. The postdoc will help organize the MOVING seminar programme, present research in seminars, conferences, and workshops, and take part in the annual summer schools and major project colloquia. A significant part of the role involves collaboration with local artists in Colombia, including support for experimental and artistic activities linked to the project.
In the later phase of the project, the researcher will also help establish a local citizen science lab in the field site and invite interested residents to participate. The post therefore combines individual research, collaborative artistic work, and engagement with local research and cultural spaces within an ERC-funded international project based between Paris and Colombia.
