Principal Researcher (f/m/x)
(40 hours per week / 5 years)

The ACDH conducts fundamental research in the Humanities with the aim of development, documentation, analysis and interpretation of historical as well as contemporary research subjects. The Institute’s digitally oriented research focuses in particular on the areas of Linguistics, Literary and Print Culture Studies as well as Musicology.
The research department Musicology considers itself the foremost non-university institution for its discipline in Austria. All projects share a focus on the transmission and history of music in Austria and those cultural areas with which the present region of Austria has been closely connected for centuries. This focus is pursued through three main research areas: Composers & Editions, Documentation & Source Studies, and Lexicography & Contextualization. The methodological spectrum ranges from work-centred philological approaches and their application in music to inter- and transdisciplinary to approaches in the history of science, musical iconography, and the study of audiovisual media.
