Kim Christiaens (supervisor, KADOC-KU Leuven), by prof. Thomas Coomans (co-supervisor, Department of Architecture KU Leuven), prof. Dries Vanysacker (co-supervisor, RU History of Church and Theology) and by Peter Heyrman (Head Research KADOC-KU Leuven). He/she is expected to carry out the following tasks:
- Conduct a thorough literature study and in-depth archival research
- Write and defend a dissertation on the topic within the agreed term
- Prepare academic publications, peer-reviewed journal articles in particular
- Actively participate in academic conferences
- Transparently communicate on your research, both in an academic context and towards the larger public.
