From 2003 to 2004 she worked as a freelance culture journalist, e.g. for Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (T-B A21)/Vienna, and as theatre producer for Sophiensæle (Berlin). Between 8/2004 and 3/2009 she was an Assistant Professor at the FU Berlin, where she completed her habilitation on the puzzling use of examples in aesthetics and philosophy. The following 18 months she spent as a Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

An untold history of Pop Culture«, tracing the idea of a latent radicalness in pop culture back to the category of „use“, becoming ubiquitous since Jeremy Bentham invented the »Auto-Icon« (1832). Mirjam Schaub’s research interests include cultural and media philosophy, especially film and cinema, aesthetics and art philosophy, Aristoteles, Leibniz, Baumgarten, Kant, Schiller, Schelling as well as French philosophy of the 20th century, particularly Deleuze, Barthes, de Certeau and Foucault.
