Research in the discipline focuses primarily on the visual arts, architecture and built environment of Europe, particularly Finland and its surrounding areas, from the pre-modern era to the present. The research emphasises interaction between empirical work, archival sources and theoretical perspectives, linking to international research in the field and engaging in dialogue with several disciplines. The appointee will teach and supervise theses particularly in the Bachelor’s Programme in Cultural Studies and the Master’s Programme in Cultural Heritage, as well as supervise doctoral theses and teach in the Doctoral Programme in the Humanities. They will be responsible for studies in art history alongside other teachers in the discipline, and their teaching will also serve neighbouring degree programmes. The appointee must be able to deliver teaching informed by their own research, supervise doctoral and other theses as well as postdoctoral researchers, apply for research funding, head research projects, develop the discipline and promote the dissemination of research findings throughout society. Duties requiring good collaboration skills include participating in the planning and development of teaching together with the other staff of the Department of Cultures, degree programmes and discipline. The role also includes administrative duties and public engagement.
