The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz - Max-Planck-Institut (KHI) invites applications for the post of research collaborator at the pre-doctoral level (Wissenschaftliche Assistentin / Wissenschaftlicher Assistent) for three years in the department of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Wolf.

The position is intended for excellent young scholars interested in pursuing research for their dissertation at the institute as well as in collaborating in its ongoing or future projects. The KHI is a Max-Planck-Institute focused on investigating the history and theory of Italian and Mediterranean art, architecture and object culture in their global connections. Doctoral students from all disciplines engaging with these fields from Antiquity to the present are encouraged to apply. What is important is the quality and originality of the project proposal.

Part of the collaborator's time will be committed to directed research in the projects and activities of Professor Wolf's department (for a list, see: http://www.khi.fi.it/en/forschung/index.html#wolf). We seek an independent, creative-thinking scholar with an interest in collaborative research.
