OFERTA EMPLEO: Beca FPI asociada al Proyecto de investigación del Plan Nacional de I+D+I (MICINN)
El producto agrario en la España del siglo XVIII
El Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación acaba de confirmar a un grupo de profesores del Departamento de Historia e Instituciones Económicas II (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) la concesión de un proyecto de investigación del Plan Nacional de I+D+I (HAR2009-1243, el producto agrario y el saldo vegetativo en la España del siglo XVIII: Crecimiento Económico e Inestabilidad) para el trienio 2010-2012, cuyo Investigador Principal es Enrique Llopis.
Anexa a dicho proyecto también nos han concedido una beca FPI y queremos dar la máxima difusión a la oportunidad que la misma puede suponer para algún joven investigador.
Está prevista que la convocatoria sea para el próximo mes de enero y que el plazo de presentación de solicitudes sea sólo de quince días naturales. Aparte de los requisitos generales que pueden encontrarse en la web del MICINN (todavía los únicos accesibles corresponden a la convocatoria del pasado año), para nosotros es importante que los solicitantes, además de contar con un buen expediente, sean licenciados en Economía o en Historia y estén dispuestos a realizar una tesis doctoral en un tema estrechamente relacionado con el del proyecto concedido. Los conocimientos de Paleografía no son imprescindibles, pero sí pueden resultar decisivos en la elección cuando los aspirantes más valorados presenten CV's y proyectos de investigación de similar calidad.
-Los principales objetivos de este proyecto son:
1) reconstruir el movimiento
2) calcular la inestabilidad de algunas macromagnitudes esenciales para la medición y el análisis del crecimiento económico en la España del siglo XVIII.
-En concreto, nos proponemos:
a) establecer los movimientos del producto agrario, cerealista y no cerealista, para extensos territorios, a partir de los registros diezmales.
b) elaborar series locales de defunciones y de matrimonios, que nos permitan construir índices provinciales y regionales.
c) calcular los saldos vegetativos a distintas escalas territoriales y, basándonos en ellos y en la información que proporcionan los vecindarios y censos disponibles, estimar la intensidad de los movimientos migratorios.
d) calcular las variaciones en la intensidad de las fluctuaciones interanuales de un amplio conjunto de variables (producto agrario, precios, natalidad, mortalidad, crecimiento vegetativo y nupcialidad) para, a partir del resultado de dicho cálculo, analizar los efectos de la inestabilidad sobre el crecimiento y el cambio económicos.
Los interesados deben ponerse en contacto con

Scholars with experience in database construction are preferred. To apply for one of these positions, you should be highly fluent in one of the following languages (in addition to having good English): German, Polish, Spanish, Russian, French. If you have worked with archival records in one of these languages, that would be an asset.

Three PhD studentships available for September 2010 entry at ULSM
The University of Leicester School of Management is delighted to be able to offer three PhD studentships, worth up to £17, 845 per year over three years. The studentships are for full-time study only and will commence in September 2010. They will cover tuition fees (at the UK/EU rate only) and include a stipend of £13,620 each year. The successful candidates will also receive a Research Training Support Grant worth £750 each year. One of these studentships is funded through the generous support of the University of Leicester alumni community. The successful recipient of this studentship will be required to engage with the University's Alumni and Development Office to publicise the award and their work with a view to the generation of additional philanthropic funds.
We welcome studentship applications from those interested in the critical re-thinking of management, business, and organization - especially in the areas of organization studies, human resource management, marketing and related fields. Suitable applications are encouraged from both UK/EU students and from international students (outside the EU). However, please note that the awards cover the UK/EU tuition fee rate only: international students will need to pay the difference between this and the international tuition fee rate themselves. Further, applicants need to specify which of the studentships they are applying for – either PhD Studentship in Management or PhD Studentship in Management (Alumni). Candidates may of course wish to apply for both categories.
For informal enquiries and for details of how to apply, please contact Teresa Bowdrey, PhD Programme Administrator - email ulsmphdinfo@le.ac.uk<mailto:ulsmphdinfo@le.ac.uk>. For further information on the School and the PhD programme, please visit:

Finally, the fellow is encouraged to submit an article to Business History Review during his or her year at the School.
Applicants should submit a CV, undergraduate transcript and
graduate-school record, thesis abstract, and writing sample (such as an article or a book chapter). Applicants should also state the topics, objectives, and design for the specific research to be undertaken. Finally, applicants should indicate the names of three people who will write references on their behalf. The three letters of recommendation are to be submitted by the writers directly by October 1, 2009. It is the responsibility of the applicant to solicit these letters.
