Call for applicants — Three-Years Research Contracts
Deadline (IHC): 15 September 2024
Deadline (FCT): 29 November 2024
Place of work / Hosting institution: Institute of Contemporary History — NOVA FCSH / University of Évora
Call for applicants:
The Institute of Contemporary History (IHC), a leading Portuguese research centre in the field of Modern and Contemporary History, welcomes applications for three-years Research Contracts, funded by the FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, acting as host institution, in the framework of the seventh edition of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus.
Working at the IHC means to be a member of a multicultural, creative, collaborative, and publicly engaged environment that gathers about 130 PhD researchers arising from the fields of History, Anthropology, Archaeology, Sociology, Arts, and others. As a Modern and Contemporary History research centre working on a broad range of topics, we regularly collaborate with the media, museums, archives, municipalities, and schools.
The IHC has facilities both at NOVA University Lisbon and at the University of Évora. We are also a member of IN2PAST, the Associate Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Heritage, Arts, Sustainability and Territory, and the host of the Digital Humanities Lab, an interdisciplinary space where knowledge in the Arts and Humanities converges with methodologies from the Computational Sciences. The IHC fosters interdisciplinary approaches and covers a wide range of topics concerning the conceptualisation, contextualisation, and interpretation of the historical reality for the period between the 18th century and the present time. The IHC encourages research approaches that overcome the limits of methodological nationalism and fosters the critical practice of comparative, transnational, and global history; it also considers the centrality of the colonial and anti-colonial question for the history of the contemporary world.
Evaluation panels for this call will include ‘History and Archaeology’, ‘Arts’, ‘Sociology’, ‘Media and Communications, Law and Political Science’, ‘Languages and Literature’, ‘Philosophy, Ethics and Religion’, among others. The IHC has accomplished over 30 successful applications in the last five editions of this competition in diverse panels such as ‘History and Archaeology’, ‘Arts’, ‘Media and Communications, Law and Political Science’, and ‘Philosophy, Ethics and Religion’.
Prospective applicants should present their research plan bearing in mind the IHC’s scientific agenda, as reflected on our Research Groups, as well as the conditions set forth in the Scientific Employment Stimulus programme. Applicants with a relevant track record of securing funding for their research activities are especially welcomed. If hired, researchers are expected to be in-residence at the IHC, actively participating in the intellectual and administrative life of the Institute.
To apply, please send us the following documents and information by 15 September 2024:
- A summary of the work plan (in English; max. 5000 characters);
- The applicable contract level (Junior/Assistant) and panel;
- A detailed Curriculum vitae;
- A motivation letter explaining your trajectory in the last five years and the relevance of your achievements (max. 5000 characters);
- One copy of a relevant publication.
Please submit your application material or any questions that may arise to Rosa Fina via the email ihc.concursos@fcsh.unl.pt.

Inhabiting Siza
Debate:
Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture, 5PM
Exposição:
Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, 7PM (10 September — 3 November)
The Inhabiting Siza research project, coordinated by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Paulo Catrica (IHC — NOVA FCSH) and André Carmo (CICS.NOVA — University of Évora), culminates with the exhibition Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, as part of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale. The opening is scheduled for 7pm on 10 September.
The exhibition looks at the way residents of housing designed by Álvaro Siza experience, and interact with, their apartments’ spatial layout, the buildings’ public spaces and housing micro-technologies as well as their buildings’ social status as tourist attractions in their everyday life. It aims to cover the research gap on Siza’s architecture related to the lack of knowledge on residents’ reception and appropriation of his architecture. It is focussed on three sites situated across the social and wealth spectrum, from the low-income population for whom the Bouça estate in Porto was originally designed, to the low-to-middle income population of Malagueira in Évora, through to the very high-income population of Terraços de Bragança in Lisbon. The research used an ethnographic approach, with in-depth interviews, ethnographic ‘house visits’ and elicitation of ‘residents in action with his/her home’ through video and photography sessions.
Before the opening of the exhibition, at 5pm, there will be a debate — Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture. It will begin with interventions by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Ana Catarina Costa (CEG-IGOT / FAUP), Ricardo Agarez (Iscte-IUL), and Loretta Lees (Boston University, via online). This will be followed by the lecture “Doing words with things: The politics and poetics of Elemental’s social housing schemes”, by Ignacio Farías (Humboldt University).

Detalhes do Evento
The book authored by José Neves and Leonor Pires Martins, the result of the exhibition on the life and legacies of Amílcar Cabral, will be presented by José Neves and Flávio Almada as part of the commemoration of Cabral’s centenary in Coimbra.
Cabral Ka Mori
Esta sessão de apresentação insere-se no ciclo “Amílcar Geração e Comemorações em Coimbra do Centenário de Amílcar Cabral”, que se prolonga até 13 de Setembro, e faz parte da oficina “Como manter Amílcar Cabral vivo“.
Sobre o livro:
Amílcar Cabral foi, por direito próprio, uma figura destacada do século XX. Ao longo das últimas décadas, o sentido da vida de Cabral foi alvo de inúmeras interpretações, de diversos usos e até de renovado interesse. A sua memória permanece viva no século XXI. «Amílcar Cabral, Uma Exposição» nasceu como mais um modo de usar este legado, com o Estado português a fazer dele um motivo de comemoração histórica, por ocasião dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril.
O livro‑catálogo que daí resulta, da autoria dos historiadores José Neves e Leonor Pires Martins, comissários da exposição, percorre 50 peças que nos levam a momentos e lugares da vida de Amílcar Cabral, mas também indiciam o tempo, o espaço e a experiência de quem o conheceu, vigiou, admirou, filmou, retratou ou cantou. O agrónomo e líder das lutas de libertação está omnipresente neste projecto que leva o seu nome, mas muitos momentos têm protagonistas próprios, da fotógrafa italiana Bruna Polimeni ao músico angolano David Zé, passando pelo líder cubano Fidel Castro, falando‑nos também de liberdade, luta anti-colonial e descolonização.
Inclui também textos de Alfredo Caldeira, Aurora Almada e Santos e Ricardo Santos & Miguel Fevereiro.
