Annuncio completo

Posizione lavorativa

The researcher will work within the framework of the FIS Research Advanced Grant BlackItaly. One of the project’s main objectives is to investigate the presence of African sub-Saharan slaves who arrived in the Italian peninsula through the different trajectories of the Atlantic slave trade from the late mid-15th century until the second half of the 19th century, in order to frame in a completely innovative way the perception of slavery and racism in Italian history.

FBK is looking to cover the position with a dynamic, highly motivated, independent researcher specialising in the nineteenth-century Italian peninsula, the history of slavery, and the history of the Catholic Church and that of the missions. The candidate will work within ISIG, reporting directly to the project’s PI and the Director of the Institute. The successful candidate will be involved in research on modern history. She/he will also be expected to develop a working relationship with the various research activities currently being conducted at the institute.

The candidate is expected to contribute actively to the academic life of the Centre in all its aspects: to participate regularly in project meetings and training, to contribute actively to the activities of the institute, and to participate in the editorial boards of the online Journal – ARO-Reviews online. Within the framework of the BlackItaly project, he/she is expected to map the presence of individuals from Sub-Saharan Africa in the Italian peninsula during the nineteenth century and analyze the anti-slavery debate, particularly from the perspectives of the Catholic Church and Italian missionaries in Africa. Additionally, the candidate is expected to participate in the various activities planned by the project, such as organizing the exhibition and constructing the digital archive. Finally, the candidate is expected to publish an article and a book chapter in the monographic issue and collective book, the project's scientific outputs.
