Assistant Professor in Literary and Cultural Analysis

 You will teach in a dynamic context with ample opportunities for the development of innovative teaching methods within the Literary and Cultural Analysis (LCA) capacity group within the Department of Literary Studies and Linguistics: Literary Studies - University of Amsterdam (uva.nl). Your research will be part of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis: https://asca.uva.nl/, one of the five research schools of the Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research.

 

Combining perspectives from Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, Literary and Cultural Analysis is dedicated to research and teaching on contemporary culture, the arts, and literature at the intersection of politics and philosophy. We try to make sense of and reflect on works of literature, art, and (popular) culture in close relation to contemporary controversies and developments. We draw from and develop theories rooted in experience (gender and queer studies, disability studies, affect and memory studies), environment and world (environmental humanities, post- and decolonial studies, world literature, infrastructure studies, media archeology) and interdisciplinary analysis (cultural studies, comparative literature, continental philosophy). Central to our programs is the hands-on engagement – through concept-driven close readings – with concrete cultural objects from Global Norths and Global Souths: visual art; films; poems; novels; fashion; television series; art installations; social media; and performances; but also culturally significant phenomena such as social movements and environmental or technological transformations. The Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) is home to more than 110 researchers and more than 120 PhD candidates, and conducts world-leading research in Cultural Analysis. ASCA members share a commitment to studying culture in all its forms and expressions within an interdisciplinary framework, and to maintaining a close connection with contemporary cultural and political debates.

 

Tasks and responsibilities:

• conducting independent research in the field of Literary and Cultural Analysis, resulting in publications in peer-reviewed journals or (edited) books;
• pursuing external funding for research from national and European research councils;
• contributing to and developing national and international research networks, and other forms of cooperation;
• contributing to the research activities of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis;
• developing, coordinating and teaching courses in the Literary and Cultural Analysis BA program, the Comparative Literature and Comparative Cultural Analysis MA programs, and the Cultural Analysis and Literary Studies research-MA programs (all taught in English; for details, see: https://studiegids.uva.nl/xmlpages/page/2022-2023);
• supervising Bachelor and (research)Master theses and tutoring students; co-supervising PhD theses;
• actively contributing to the development of teaching programmes, specifically to make them more inclusive;
• taking part in committees and working groups, and carrying out administrative tasks at the level of the capacity group, the department and the Faculty of Humanities.

PhD on assessment and modelling of noise annoyance of current and future aircraft

Aircraft noise is a cause of annoyance and severe adverse health effects to millions of people living in the vicinity of airports. In addition, noise emissions remain the biggest inhibitor to aviation growth, since strict noise regulations limit the capacity of airports. The continuous growth of air traffic, only worsens this situation and brings urgency to this matter.

One of the crucial remaining challenges in order to protect the quality of life and living environment around airports is to perform accurate assessment and modelling of the noise annoyance caused by aviation. Conventional sound metrics typically employed for by authorities for noise assessment do not properly consider human perception of sound and, as such, it is highly questionable to use them to assess noise annoyance. In contrast, novel sound quality metrics from the psychoacoustics field are expected to be more suitable for this purpose.

This PhD project will focus on the development of novel perception-based assessment techniques and modelling of aircraft noise annoyance. The PhD researcher will benefit from the extensive in-house expertise in the field. To perform the necessary experiments, the PhD researcher will be able to use the state-of-the-art equipment present at the research group, such as microphone arrays for acoustic measurements and the newly-developed psychoacoustic listening room.

The main objectives of this PhD project are to:

• Determine the main sound characteristics of aircraft noise that influence the perceived annoyance via listening experiments.
• Develop semi-empirical noise annoyance prediction models for current aircraft (turbofan and turboprop), as well as for near-future aviation concepts (unconventional aircraft configurations, drones, urban air mobility vehicles).

Based on experiments in wind tunnels (and potentially full-scale aircraft flyover measurements), assess how innovative aircraft technologies (such as those designed to reduce fuel burn and pollutant emissions) would affect the noise annoyance experienced around airports.

Requirements

• MSc degree (or equivalent) in aerospace engineering, acoustics, psychoacoustics, (applied) physics, applied mathematics, or mechanical engineering, or a related subject.
• A combination of good mathematical and analytical skills.
• Solid fundamental knowledge on signal processing, acoustic measurements.
• Strong programming skills (e.g. MATLAB or Python) are advantageous.
• High interest in performing experiments is essential.
• Background in the field of psychoacoustics is advantageous.
• Driven, enthusiastic, and independent thinker.
• Ability to work in a project team and take responsibility for own research goals.
• The candidate should have a very good command of English language, in direct communication as well as writing skills and should enjoy working in an interdisciplinary environment.
• The candidate is expected to contribute to an exciting and vibrant atmosphere in the department, and publish work of high scientific quality and participate in international conferences.

Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis. For more details please check the Graduate Schools Admission Requirements.

 

Conditions of employment

Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2541 per month in the first year to € 3247 in the fourth year.
