Job alert: Research Assistant, The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts

Applications are invited for the 0.2 FTE position of Research Assistant to the project ‘The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts’, a five-year interdisciplinary research project awarded in the ERC Consolidator Grant competition and funded through a UKRI Frontier Research grant which ends on 31 August 2027. The Socialist Anthropocene in the Visual Arts (SAVA) sets out to radically transform current debates on the Anthropocene, addressing the major lacuna in existing accounts by establishing the Socialist Anthropocene as a novel conceptual framework that asserts the constitutive role of the twentieth century environmental histories of socialism in the formation of the new geological age. 

The main purpose of the job will be to provide assistance to the Principal Investigator of the SAVA project and to support the media strategy of the SAVA Project. The Research Assistant will have experience of using social media as a promotional tool in a professional capacity, creating online content, designing posts and devising media campaigns; editing and producing content for digital platforms, particularly the recording and editing of podcasts; creating content-related graphics for Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms; working with curators, artists or academics to deliver events and other project outputs; and other attributes outlined in the job description.
