Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate in The Impact of German Idealism in the Department of German and Dutch. The vacancy arises in relation to a new research network entitled ‘The Impact of Idealism: The Legacy of Post-Kantian German Thought’, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and the Isaac Newton Trust and directed by Professor Nicholas Boyle. The project examines the long-term impact of post-Kantian idealism across the humanities in Europe and America and involves a programme of international workshops and an international conference. It is expected to lead to a major publication. The successful candidate will be expected to act as a Network Facilitator for the network. He or she will be required to hold a Ph.D. Degree, will have demonstrable interests in one or more fields covered by the project, and an excellent command of English and German. The post-holder will be aiming to produce an independent monograph in this area (distinct from her or his Doctoral dissertation), preferably by the end of 2012 in time for the 2013 REF. The Research Associate will also be expected to contribute to the teaching within the Department, giving some lectures in undergraduate courses in German literature, history, or thought, supervising M.Phil. work in relevant fields, and assisting in Tripos examinations.
Due to limitations of external funds, the salary for this pensionable post will be in the range of £27,183 to £31,513 a year. The limit of tenure for the post is 34 months.
