The Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology (FFA BUT) has announced (27 September 2022) an open call for the position of:
Visiting Senior Research Fellow, February — April 2023.
Job description
The visiting research fellow needs to be a respected figure in scientific or artistic research in visual arts, art history and theory, curatorship, design, architecture, or associated fields. In their four-month internship, the researcher should conduct research with excellent outputs that will be reported in the Information Register of R&D Results (RIV) or the Register of Artistic Outputs (RUV) on behalf of FFA BUT. The topic, methods, and specialization of the project (humanities research/artistic research) are open, and their detailed description is part of the project submitted in the tender. The internship also features one participation at a conference/seminar/workshop that is not organized by BUT. The selected applicant will be provided with all faculty facilities: studios, departments & workshops, Department of Art History and Theory, its library, and all available technologies and facilities at the faculty. The Faculty of Fine Arts of Brno University of Technology focuses on the development of traditional object-based techniques, design, intermedia, moving image and performance. The faculty has a 3D studio and an automatic robotic arm. The faculty also addresses critically engaged performative and body-based projects (one studio specializes in gender criticism through artistic research), another specific feature is the Game Media Studio dealing with the interactivity of virtual situations. The focus of the internship does not necessarily have to follow in the current specializations of the faculty, but it can bring new thematic and methodological impulses.
