As part of the Ashkenazi linguistic and cultural area, the Habsburg Monarchy and its successor states define the geographical focus of this tenure track professorship, which is dedicated to the history of Jewish culture, society and ideas in the period between 1500 and 1930. Successful applicants are recognised for their research on Ashkenaz and will complement the profile of the Institute for Austrian Historical Research with their source-oriented and interdisciplinary work, and contribute to the expansion of research networks on Jewish history. Successful candidates are also expected to take on the academic leadership of the extra-university “Institute for Jewish History in Austria“ in St. Pölten. This dual role, together with active involvement in teaching and in the Doctoral School, creates a number of synergies in research, external funding and networking. Participation in the research focus ‘Austria in its Environment’; of the Faculty of History and Cultural Studies also offers numerous opportunities to develop one’s own research in an intellectually stimulating network.
