Job description

Offer DescriptionAssistant professor (post-doc) as a part of the project “Religious Domains of Infrastructure and its Role among Armenians and Azerbaijanis in Georgia”, financed by the National Science Center under the OPUS 26 Scheme
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, religiosity in Georgia underwent a rapid transformation, including the construction of new infrastructure, renovation of old buildings, and reconstruction of sacred places. One of the critical research questions is how Armenians and Azerbaijanis use infrastructure in both religious and secular contexts to strengthen their position in Georgia. On the one hand, both groups must accept their minority status. On the other, their mutual relations are marked by distrust and sometimes even hostility resulting from the prolonged dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The project’s main goal is to study how the Azerbaijani and Armenian minorities in Georgia establish, use, and maintain their infrastructure related to religion. This issue shall be investigated on different levels: local relations, the relationship with the Georgian state, and transnational connections.
