Research Associate in Polish Studies in the Department of Slavonic Studies

Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate in the Department of Slavonic Studies working with Dr Alexander Etkind. This vacancy has arisen as a result of an award from the Newton Trust (Cambridge UK) for the collaborative research project Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Also funded by a 2009 HERA JRP grant (Humanities in the European Research Area, Joint Research Programme), this project will be based at the University of Cambridge and will be accomplished in association with the Universities of Bergen, Helsinki, Tartu, and Groningen. The project will involve multiple conferences, field trips, and publications in which the Research Associate will play a key part. The appointee will be required to hold a Ph.D. Degree and will have demonstrable interests in one or more fields covered by the project. He or she will also demonstrate a good command of Polish, a reading knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian (or an eagerness to acquire this knowledge at Cambridge), and excellent writing skills in English. The post-holder will be aiming to produce an independent monograph in a relevant area of East European Memory Studies (distinct from the doctoral dissertation), preferably by the end of 2012, in time for the 2013 REF. The Research Associate will help coordinate the large research network of the project Memory at War, and will be responsible for the Polish part of the interactive, state-of-the-art Internet database, which will be mapping memory events across the three target countries in real time. The person appointed may also be asked to contribute to the teaching within the Department.

Completed applications, including a PD18 form (available at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/pd18/), a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, an outline (about 1,000 words) of the proposed research in contribution to the project Memory at War, a list of publications, and the names and addresses of two referees who are familiar with the candidate’s work in the relevant field, should be sent to the Secretary of the Appointments Committee, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 9DA (or by email to lb358@cam.ac.uk), by 4 p.m on 18 May 2010. Applicants are requested to ask their referees to write directly to the Secretary of the Appointments Committee by the same date.

Applicants are also invited to submit up to two recent examples of their work for consideration by the Committee, or, in the case of work that has been published, to draw the Committee’s attention to items of special relevance to their application. Short-listed candidates will be asked to give a short presentation as part of the interview process.

Due to limitations of external funds, the salary for this pensionable post will be in the range of £27,183 to £32,650 a year. The appointment will run from 1 July 2010 for 36 months, and is subject to satisfactory completion of a probationary period of six months.
