MELLON FOUNDATION POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN HISTORY

Applications are invited for a Mellon Foundation two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in history, starting on 1 October 2006. The post is in connection with a new research programme on Exchanges of Economic and Political Ideas since 1760. The programme is based at the University of Cambridge and at Harvard University, and is co-ordinated at the University of Cambridge by Emma Rothschild, C. A. Bayly, and Gareth Stedman Jones. For further information see http://www-histecon.kings.cam.ac.uk/research/hex/index.htm. The Fellowship is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is tenable for two years. It is not associated with a Fellowship of a Cambridge College, but can be combined with a non-stipendiary College Fellowship. The stipend will be £23,421 in the first year.

Further particulars are available from the Centre for History and Economics, King's College, Cambridge, CB2 1ST. Applications, including a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, and the names and addresses of two referees, should be sent to the Centre for History and Economics (ihm@kings.cam.ac.uk), to arrive no later than by 15 December. Interviews are expected to take place in January 2006.
