Assistant Professor (post-doc) – the contractor of a research project at the Department of 19th and 20th Century Social History at the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences
Offer DescriptionThe position is offered within the research project titled “Experts and the Production of Feminist Knowledge in Postwar Central and Eastern Europe (1945-1989)”, funded by the National Science Centre of Poland (OPUS LAP project no. 2023/51/I/HS3/02044), led by Dr. hab. Natalia Jarska, in cooperation with Dr. Annina Gagyiova from the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences.Abstract of the research projectDoes knowledge production contribute to the development of gender equality activism? What knowledge about women’s problems in labor, housework, and health was created by women experts in post-war Central and Eastern Europe? How did their research uncover existing gender inequalities and stereotypes about women’s roles? Which solutions did female experts propose to improve the situation of women in society? Did the knowledge they created prompt them to participate in the public debate on women’s issues? How did the knowledge circulate among female experts from different countries? Who were the women who devoted their research careers to women’s issues? Did, under the conditions of the communist state, which restricted the possibility of association, networks of women experts play a role in feminist activism?We want to seek answers to these questions by conducting historical research on the biographies and expertise of selected female experts in three communist countries of East Central Europe: Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary. We are interested in those female experts whose research raised issues related to women’s work and health. Our research will focus on medicine, sociology, psychology, and law.Our research focuses on three threads: 1. Expert discourses about women. 2. Women experts’ biographies and international and transnational contacts between female experts. 3. Knowledge dissemination and activism. As a result, the project will contribute significantly to the knowledge of women’s roles in science in post-war East Central Europe, which, in contrast to Western countries, is still understudied. The project will result in scientific articles and an online dictionary of female experts containing entries in English and national languages. An international team of scholars of the 20th-century social and cultural history of Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary will conduct the research.TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT: Full-time, fixed-term contract for 3 yearsGROSS ANNUAL SALARY: 140,000 PLNRESULT ANNOUNCEMENT: September 15, 2025Where to apply E-mailkonkursy.naukowe@ihpan.edu.plRequirementsResearch Field History » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsThe tasks of the Assistant Professor (post-doc) will include:
