Applications are invited for a fixed-term 2-year postdoctoral fellowship within the HERA-funded international research project ‘Marrying Cultures: Queens Consort and European Identities 1500 - 1800’, led by Professor Helen Watanabe-O’Kelly. The post is tenable from 1 September 2014 to 30 September 2016. The project involves scholars based in Oxford, Wolfenbüttel, Lund and Warsaw. Further details about the project are available on the website at: www.marryingcultures.eu.
The post is available because the current postdoctoral researcher has been appointed to a permanent position elsewhere. Applicants must have completed doctoral degree in a relevant discipline relating to early modern Europe (e.g. history, art history, modern languages and literatures, history of music, cultural history), have excellent communication skills, knowledge of another European language and good organisational skills. The successful applicant will undertake independent research on a relevant foreign queen consort of the appointee’s own choosing, to be agreed with the Project Leader, and will assist the Project Leader in the administration of the project.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 6 August 2014. Interviews will be held week beginning 18 August 2014.
