3 weeks ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London Full time
The Courtauld is the UK's leading institution for teaching and research in Art History and the conservation of paintings.

The Courtauld's Gallery is one of the finest small art museums in the world, which reopened to the public in November 2021 following a major transformation.

Across its two academic departments, History of Art and Conservation, it offers outstanding research and teaching from Late Antiquity to the Contemporary with an increasingly global outlook and embraces a diversity of theoretical approaches and methodologies.


The Courtauld is seeking an exceptional postdoctoral fellow with expertise in histories of the arts of the Mongol era in histories of art relating to West, Central and South Asia (13th-14th centuries) to contribute to the Mongol Connections research initiative led by Professor Sussan Babaie.


Mongol Connections is a travelling seminar that approaches histories of the arts of the Mongol era (13-14th centuries) as intersecting, connecting, and competing histories of objects, artists, and technologies, across the Eurasian expanse of the Great Mongol State.

The travelling seminar will create a network of researchers of all career stages from multiple localities along the Mongol routes, to generate new collaborative and interdisciplinary research.

Among other activities the network will convene in Mongolia (2025), Uzbekistan and the United Kingdom Mongol Connections is made possible with support from Getty through its Connecting Art Histories initiative.


The Postdoctoral Fellow:

Mongol Connections will pursue innovative and rigorous research in a relevant area (40%), support the co-ordination of the travelling seminar and participate in all aspect of the project (40%), and contribute to Courtauld teaching in a relevant specialist field (20%).

They will join a rich and growing community of scholars dedicated to histories of trans-Asian arts and material cultures.

The Courtauld is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds as we have under-representation that we wish to address.

The Courtauld warmly welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, including those through the Skilled Workers Route to work in the UK.
