Associate Professor in History of non-European arts (XIIIth-XIXth centuries).

JOB DESCRIPTION
The Department of Art History and Archaeology at Rennes 2 University is seeking an art historian specializing in artistic productions and/or material culture of a non-European area in a period ranging from the 13th to the 19th century. Their work should align with the new methodologies of art history and demonstrate attention to the dynamics of exchange of artworks and artifacts, as well as transcultural interactions in various contexts (colonial, pre-colonial, or in situations of sovereignty). An ability to consider, from a trans-secular perspective, phenomena of appropriation and hybridization, expressions of belonging, or strategies of assertion will also be appreciated. All non-European regions are relevant: Africas, Americas, Asias, Oceania-Pacific.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES
The selected candidate will contribute to teaching non-European art history and modern art history at all levels of the curriculum, from undergraduate to master's level. They will deliver lectures and lead seminars, employing a globalized and connected approach to art history. They may also be required to teach courses related to heritage history, new theories and epistemologies, and participate in professionalization tracks. They will supervise, in coordination with other faculty members, Master's theses within the research track "History and Criticism of the Arts" and professionalization tracks. They may also be involved in preparing students for heritage competitions or for the Aggregation and CAPES in Fine Arts. The selected candidate is expected to actively participate in the department's activities and gradually assume pedagogical responsibilities (year or track leadership, examination boards, pedagogical commissions, various coordinations) and administrative duties (department leadership, representation in UFR councils, etc.). The selected candidate is expected to have an excellent level of French since all courses will be delivered in the language.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The selected candidate will be affiliated with the Research Unit "History and Criticism of the Arts," whose scientific project favors an interdisciplinary and transnational approach to research, within the broad field of cultural history. They will have demonstrated through their work and publications their attention to cultural transfers, situated histories, points of contact, and cultural anthropology, as well as their interest in current theoretical fields (e.g., inter- and transculturality, post- and decolonial studies, globalization, métissage, creolization, indigenization). The selected candidate should enrich the research axes of the Unit and contribute to its scientific influence through the international dimension of their projects. Particular attention will be paid to experiences within scientific networks in France and abroad, particularly through postdoctoral positions. The ability to engage in the development of collective projects with regional, national, and/or international partners is also desired.

Gross monthly salary: Starting from 2638€
