Newcastle University wish to appoint to appoint an outstanding postdoctoral researcher for a three-year research fellowship hosted by the Newcastle University Humanities Research Institute (NUHRI). The successful candidate will pursue a personal research project, contribute to the work of NUHRI more generally, and enhance the profile of humanities research both within and outside Newcastle University.

The NUHRI Fellowships are intended primarily to enable early career researchers to undertake a research project of their own design that will lead to an original and significant piece of publishable work. Applications will be considered from candidates working in all areas of the humanities (broadly defined). Projects that are multi- or interdisciplinary in nature are particularly welcome.

The post is full-time for three years, beginning in October 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applicants must have been awarded a doctoral degree since 1 January, 2012, or be in expectation that the award will be made by 31 October, 2016. Applicants should not already have held a permanent academic appointment.

For more information please contact Professor Matthew Grenby, Director of NUHRI: m.o.grenby@ncl.ac.uk
