Fulbright Visiting Professor in Cultural Studies
Fulbright is one of the best-known scholarship programmes in the world and the University of Graz is proud to be a part of it. The programme enables a regular exchange with colleagues from the United States, from which not only researchers but also students benefit. Over the past 20 years, more than 30 Fulbright Scholars have enriched our degree programmes with their expertise and brought new input to the University of Graz.
In this regard, the University is interested in an interdisciplinary approach to cultural studies that falls into one (or preferably, several) of the following areas: American Studies, Ancient and Modern History, Archaeology, Art History, Jewish Studies, Digital Humanities, Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures, Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, Linguistics, Translation Studies, Musicology, and Philosophy.
The professorship is for 4 months and includes research as well as teaching activities (min. 2 courses).
Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship for Jewish Studies
The goal of the Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship for Jewish Studies is to teach the basics of Jewish culture and history and to deal with selected special topics in seminars.
Since the academic year 2001/2002, 19 visiting professors from all over Europe have worked at the Center for Jewish Studies at the Faculty of Humanities within the framework of the Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship.
The visiting professorship comprises 6 semester hours of teaching per week, of which 2 semester hours must take the form of a lecture. The Kurt-David-Brühl Visiting Professorship in Jewish Studies is oriented towards cultural studies and is therefore open to applicants from various academic disciplines.
