MELLON FOUNDATION POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN HISTORY AT THE CENTRE FOR HISTORY AND ECONOMICS

Applications are invited for a two-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in History, starting on 1 October 2007 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is in connection with a research programme on Exchanges of Economic and Political Ideas since 1760. The programme is based at King's College and at Harvard University, and is co-ordinated by Emma Rothschild, C. A. Bayly, Sugata Bose, Gareth Stedman Jones, and Richard Tuck. 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 £24,403 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 (e-mail ihm@kings.cam.ac.uk), to arrive no later than by 31 May 2007. Interviews are expected to take place in June or July.

King's College is an equal opportunities employer.

H. E. DURHAM FUND

The Administrators of the H. E. Durham Fund give notice that small grants may be made for the purpose of advancing, improving, or disseminating knowledge of human or animal life in health or in disease.

The Administrators invite applications from individual Cambridge undergraduates for grants to enable them to study or assist in research within the subjects specified above for about eight weeks during the Long Vacation. They do this in the hope that experience of this kind may help undergraduates, as potential research workers, in their choice of subject at a later date. Applications for expeditions will rarely qualify. Some money may also be available to assist graduates with specific research projects of short duration.

The application form is available from the Senior Tutor's Assistant at King's College (e-mail jal29@cam.ac.uk). The closing date for applications is 11 May 2007. It is hoped to inform successful candidates by the middle of June.
