St Edmund Hall welcomes applications for a Junior Research Fellowship in Political History. The successful candidate will be required to work as an independent researcher within the framework of a British Academy sponsored project entitled Teaching contemporary Palestinian political history: setting a collaborative research agenda and building capacity. This will be in conjunction with scholars at the Department of Politics and International Relations (in particular with Dr Karma Nabulsi) and with international researchers in the Arab world and elsewhere.
The post is available from 1 October 2009 or as soon as possible thereafter. The period of the Fellowship is three years, and is not renewable. On this occasion no candidate should have completed more than seventy-two months of full-time research by 1 October 2009.
The stipend will be £17,000 a year, plus a pensionable housing allowance or free College accommodation (subject to availability and suitable for single occupancy only), lunching and dining rights free of charge, and membership of the Senior Common Room.
