H-ASIA December 17, 2013 CORRECTED Postdoctoral Fellowship: University of Saskatchewan, History The Elizabeth and Cecil Kent Post Doctoral Fellowship in History (includes British imperial field) ******************************************************************** From: H-Net Job Guide: JOB GUIDE NO: https://www.h-net.org/jobs/job_display.php?id=48219 University of Saskatchewan, History The Elizabeth and Cecil Kent Post Doctoral Fellowship in History Institution Type: College / University Location: Saskatchewan, Canada Position: Post-Doctoral Fellow The Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan requests applications for the Elizabeth and Cecil Kent Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the History of Britain and the British world. This fellowship is tenable for two years, commencing September 1, 2014. The terms of the fellowship stipulate that it is open to any new scholar working in the field of British History and/or the history of the British world. Applicants must have completed all the requirements for a PhD in history by August 31, 2014. Proof of a completed PhD will be required prior to taking up the Fellowship. The successful applicant will be engaged with a research project of his or her own design. She or he will work under the supervision of Professor Chris Kent, a specialist in nineteenth and twentieth century British cultural, intellectual, social and womens/gender histories. While Prof. Kent's area of expertise is very broad, it is not intended that the fellowship be limited to those working solely in similar or complementary areas of British history. The University of Saskatchewan library, a member of the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), has particularly strong holdings in the fields of British and imperial history. The position carries an annual salary of $38,000 with a research allowance of $2,000 per annum. As per the University of Saskatchewan regulations governing post-doctoral fellowships, this is primarily a research position, but fellows are permitted to teach one 3-credit unit (c.u.) course per year. Such teaching, paid at the sessional rate of $6,600 per 3 c.u. course would be in addition to the PDF salary, and dependent upon the History Departments annual timetabling requirements and budgetary position. The Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan is a very strong, mid-sized department of twenty full time faculty members with a vibrant research culture, a large graduate program (with 40 PhD students and 24 MA students) and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching. Faculty members work in a range of thematic areas, including: colonialism, post-colonialism and native/newcomer relations; environmental history; science, medicine and health; gender and sexuality; twentieth-century politics, culture and public policy. At present, half a dozen Faculty members work on topics related to Britain and the British world. Applicants are encouraged to visit the Department of History website for more details: http://artsandscience.usask.ca/history/contact/jobs.php The University of Saskatchewan is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a growing city with a diverse and thriving economic base, a thriving arts community and a wide variety of leisure opportunities.
