Two calls for proposals you don't want to miss
In our " Job Postings " section, we regularly compile interesting job and internship opportunities in the cultural sector for you. Don't forget to check it out! Two job postings deserve your special attention.
Ph.D. Fellowship at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden
Are you nearing the end of your studies and considering a Ph.D.? Are you also interested in interdisciplinary research? The Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, a long-term project of the TUD Dresden University of Technology and THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION, offers this opportunity. Based at the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, the project is, in the truest sense, a humanities laboratory where early-career researchers from various departments collaborate with artists. Together, they investigate the impact of current technologies on culture, society, and science.
In the summer semester, the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden will begin its third funding phase with the overarching theme “Energy Cultures in Transition.” For this research project, doctoral fellowships are being offered in eight departments —including art history. As part of the research activities at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, the position involves pursuing a Ph.D. at TU Dresden and writing a dissertation. The position in art history will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schankweiler. Please note that the application deadline is November 24, 2026.
Detailed information on the job postings for the respective departments can be found on the GSW job openings page.
