The School of Advanced Studies (SAS) at the University of Tyumen, Siberia, is a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary international research center and educational institution (BA) that operates in the English language.
We invite applications for full-time faculty positions starting 2023-2024 academic year. We have a capacity to hire up to 10 new faculty in a variety of disciplines including economics, statistics, sociology, anthropology, cinema and media studies, history, literature, art history and science and technology studies. We may also consider faculty working in psychology, theater and performance, and other disciplines, as we always strive to expand the breadth of our educational offerings.
This year, we specifically encourage the applications of candidates who may consider the concept of “crisis” as an axis or a major theme in their potential interdisciplinary research projects they may want to do with faculty from different disciplines. We use the term “crisis” in a wider-than-usual sense of the term and with reference to its etymological roots: a situation that simultaneously signifies a mode of indeterminacy as much as
overdetermination, i.e., not as an expression of a mere negativity but also, and more importantly, of anticipating and determining possible futures from within the existing uncertainties.
