Applications are invited for the above post, tenable with effect from 1 October 2006, or such date as may be arranged. This chair was created by means of a munificent benefaction from the Government of India. The University interprets History and Culture widely, to include any historical period ancient, medieval, or modern, and any cultural field, although on this occasion applications would be particularly welcome from scholars in the field of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Indian history. A non-stipendiary Fellowship at St Cross College is attached to the Professorship.
Applications (ten copies, or one only from overseas candidates), naming three persons who have agreed to act as referees on this occasion, should be received not later than 19 December, by the Registrar, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD, from whom further particulars may be obtained. Further particulars may also be accessed on the Web (http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/).
