The Kassák Foundation invites applications for 2 postdoctoral research positions within the ERC funded ProletGard – The Cultural Vanguard of Workers’ Movements: A Social History of East 

Central European Avant-Garde between the Two Wars project. 

The project explores the relationship between avant-garde culture and workers’ movements in East Central Europe between the two world wars. The team is interdisciplinary (labor, media, gender, literary and art history), and candidates are expected to develop an individual research project related to the themes of the grant. Knowledge of English and at least one regional language (e.g. Romanian, Czech, Slovak, BCS, Slovene, Polish, Yiddish, or Ukrainian) is required.

The positions are full-time, starting 1 January 2027, initially for two years (renewable for two more). The gross salary is €49,000/year, with additional support for research travel and conferences. Researchers can either relocate to Budapest or work with regular on-site visits.

Application deadline: 1 May 2026.
