Job Description:
This 3-year fellowship at the FBK-ISIG arises in conjunction with the new collaborative European project led by PI Massimo Rospocher: Public Renaissance: Urban Cultures of Public Space between Early Modern Europe and the Present (PURE) and funded by Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA). The central concept of the project is that of a “Public Renaissance”, by which we intend to examine both the urban cultures of public space in the early modern era, and to set this into dynamic dialogue with the recently invigorated discourse around the agency of public space in shaping contemporary events. An interdisciplinary team of architectural, social and cultural historians, in collaboration with non-academic partners from the heritage sector, will probe the continuities and ruptures that shape urban spaces of the past in relation to contemporary urban interaction in the urbanised heart of Europe.
The successful applicant will focus his/her research on two or more urban centres in Italy to develop, through archival and primary research, a comparative analysis of how built urban public spaces (streets, squares, markets, taverns, churches) provided settings for political and social interaction across a range of social groups. The comparison will encompass (but it will not be limited to) cities such as Venice, Milan, Ferrara, Florence, Bologna, Rome and it will focus on the political uses and forms of control of public urban spaces. 
In this context, the candidate is expected to: 
1.	Assume duties and responsibilities appropriate to the appointment as may be assigned to him/her by the PI
2.	Actively contribute to the academic life of the Centre in all its aspects
3.	Work closely with the PI and other researchers involved in the project PURE, participate in project meetings and training
4.	Contribute an article of his or her own on the topic, produce two co-authored (with PI) articles in major international peer-reviewed journals
5.	Contribute in the preparation of texts for a smartphone app
6.	Be ready to travel and work wherever needed for the project

The ideal candidate should have:
•	PhD in Early Modern European History or a related field
•	Knowledge of Italian sources and palaeography
•	Excellent writing and communication skills in English
•	Desire to conduct archival research
•	Proficiency with Latin and other relevant languages is desirable
•	Prior training in digital humanities approaches (e.g. GIS or spatial humanities) would be an advantage, although training can be provided during the fellowship 
•	Teamwork attitude, proactivity as well as organizational skills, ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment.
