About this position

The Department of Art History at the University of Vienna is recruiting a predoctoral scientific project assistant for the FWF project “A Third Art History? All-Women Exhibitions as Art-Historiographical Interventions.” Led by Ass.-Prof. Dr. Maria Bremer, the project examines all-women exhibitions as sites of feminist art-historical knowledge production.

The research addresses how exhibitions organized during and around second-wave feminism challenged male-dominated frameworks in universities and museums. It considers the ways these exhibitions reconfigured art-historical subjects, narratives, classifications, and geographical and temporal frameworks, while also examining their ambivalent roles in increasing the visibility of women artists and potentially reinforcing the category of “women’s art.”

The successful doctoral researcher will develop an independent dissertation within the project framework. Possible directions include exhibitions initiated by feminist art historians across different geographical contexts, exhibitions connected with feminist demonstrations in the 1970s, historical models and genealogies of women’s exhibitions, and women artists’ trajectories and exhibition practices in understudied global contexts, including Italy’s former colonial sphere.

The researcher will join a team comprising the project leader, a predoctoral researcher, and a postdoctoral researcher. Alongside independent doctoral research, the role involves participating in team meetings, guest lectures, and a workshop; maintaining project website content; co-editing an annotated bibliography of research literature and primary sources; contributing to digital exhibition reconstructions; and managing project data.

The position offers an opportunity to work in an international, collegial research environment at the University of Vienna, with close academic mentoring from Maria Bremer and engagement with feminist art historiography, women’s art, exhibition history, museum studies, archival research, and digital humanities.

Funding details

The position is a 30-hour-per-week, limited-term employment contract until 28 February 2029, with a possible maximum one-year extension. The basic full-time salary is EUR 3,776.10 paid 14 times per year, adjusted to the 30-hour workweek, with increases possible for recognized relevant professional experience. The University also offers partial funding for research trips and conference participation.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a Master's degree or Diploma in art history or a related field with an above-average academic record. They should have a genuine interest in feminist art historiography, women's art, and exhibition history; proficiency in English; excellent writing, analytical, and editorial skills; and the ability to work collaboratively in a research team. Knowledge of German and/or Italian and experience in exhibition practice, archival research, or digital humanities are additional relevant qualifications.

How to apply

Submit a single PDF in English, German, or Italian through the University of Vienna job portal using the “Apply now” button. Include a one-page cover letter, CV, degree certificate, doctoral project proposal, writing sample, and contact details for two referees; applications by email or post are not accepted.
