The Department of Economics at Yale University announces a new post-doctoral fellowship in Economic History. The purpose of this fellowship is to advance research and cross-disciplinary dialogue in History and Economics. The program will have one fellow at a time. Candidates must hold a PhD in History, Economics, or Economic History. In the first and every alternating year preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in History.
Fellowships will commence with the 2008-2009 academic year. They will be awarded for one year, but might be extended to a second year. The fellow will have competitive salary and benefits, plus access to all library and other facilities of Yale University.
The fellow will be expected to undertake a program of research and possibly additional coursework after consultation with relevant faculty at Yale. The fellow will also take part in the economic history program, including the weekly seminar and other events.
Deadline for applications is November 1, 2007. Applicants must have been awarded their PhD or equivalent degree no earlier than July 1, 2005. Applicants who have not completed the PhD at the time of application must include a statement from the major advisor stating that the degree will be finished by June 30, 2008. Scholars whose Ph.D is from Yale University are not eligible. Applicants will be notified of our decisions by January 15, 2008.
The application consists of three letters of recommendation, a curriculum vita, a statement of the candidates research interests (which should stress the candidates plans for the fellowship period) of no more than 1500 words, and a writing sample such as a dissertation chapter or journal article or book chapter.
The fellowship is open to scholars of all periods and geographic areas, but preference will be given to candidates whose period precedes the 19th century, and whose geographic area of study is not Europe or North America. The candidates country of citizenship is irrelevant.
Yale University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
