3-year Postdoctoral Research Associate, “Adults at Play(s)”

Magdalen College proposes to appoint two postdoctoral research associates in connection with a collaborative project entitled Adults at Play(s). Both posts are for three years from 1 October 2014. Candidates must have a doctorate in hand by that date. They will already have demonstrated outstanding promise either in the study of dramatic literature or in experimental psychology, and will have an aptitude and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary work across these areas. The postholders will collaborate with three Fellows of the College (Felix Budelmann, Robin Dunbar and Laurie Maguire) in developing experimental and text-based research on the psychology of the audience, with particular reference to classical Greek and early modern English drama.

Informal enquiries should be directed to felix.budelmann@magd.ox.ac.uk, robin.dunbar@magd.ox.ac.uk or laurie.maguire@magd.ox.ac.uk.

Both appointments will be made at points 29-31 on the University Salary Scale 7, currently £29,541-£31,331 p.a.; plus benefits.

Application forms and further particulars, which include information on how to apply, are available at http://www.magd.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/.
