Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the University Museum of Bergen, Department of Cultural History
As societies become more diverse, inequalities also become more complex, with social, cultural, and economic differences intersecting and reinforcing one another. International institutions play a key role in addressing these challenges by promoting cross-national research, policy coordination, and evidence-based strategies to foster inclusion and social cohesion. This vacancy is part of the SSH Sector Plan on “Social Inequality and Diversity”.
At Maastricht University, we value cultural studies as an interdisciplinary field that examines how culture shapes and is shaped by power, media, identities, economies, and everyday practices. Cultural studies investigates representation, hegemony, resistance, and the circulation of meanings across local and global contexts. The field matters because cultural production influences political debate, social belonging, and public imagination, affecting whose voices are heard and whose experiences are marginalized.
