We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct research on food consumption in early modern Ireland. The post-holder will be appointed primarily under work package 1 of the project: Food Microhistories, which uses institutional and household accounts to examine both dietary trends and the social and cultural ‘meanings’ of food in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Ireland. The successful candidate will work on records already digitised by the PI, while also seeking to identify further accounts for analysis. S/he will conduct archival research, transcribe, input, and analyse data, and prepare select accounts for publication. S/he will also contribute to other relevant work packages, including the ‘Ale, Beer and Brewing’ study (scheduled for March 2021), which will replicate and test the nutritional value of sixteenth-century household beer, and the ‘Dietary Isotopes’ study which integrates historical and bioarchaeological approaches to explore diet. The post-holder will also undertake dissemination and public engagement activities to assist the project in its aim to communicate the importance of its discoveries to the widest possible audience.

UCL History is looking for a post-doctoral Teaching Fellow to teach the following courses:

'Method and Practice in the History of Political Thought and Intellectual History'

You will make a leading contribution to the project: The Making of a Lopsided Union: Economic Integration in the European Economic Community, 1957-1992 (EURECON) led by Dr Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol (See e-mourlon-druol.com/eurecon and Explanatory Document for more details). Specifically, the job requires expert knowledge in the area of postwar international/European economic and business history. Contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals and help manage and direct complex and challenging project(s) as opportunities allow.

This project explores the extent to which the memory or absence of memory, of previous financial crises can explain practices threatening the stability of the financial system. This will provide a major contribution to the understanding of the causes of financial crises, in particular the Global Financial Crisis, by helping to understand the behaviour of financial agents, marked by recurrent waves of over-confidence and excessive risk-taking, and why regulators fail to maintain financial stability. 

In 2020, one selected candidate will be the beneficiary of a 3-year working contract with all benefits attached. The contract includes high level interdisciplinary, intersectoral, and international training with personalized career development plan involving soft-skills training, secondments and mentoring. Over 50 partner organisations actively support this programme.

The position is based on an individual project: Financial Integration in Europe during the 19th-20th Centuries, in the PhD programme of Economics and Business.
