HBS Postdoctoral Fellowship and Travel Grants in Business History
1. The Harvard-Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellowship in Business History
To be awarded for twelve months' residence study, and research at Harvard Business School, July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012.
The fellowship is open to scholars who, within the last ten years, have received a Ph.D. in history, economics, or a related discipline. The fellowship has two purposes: The first is to enable scholars to engage in research that will benefit from the resources of Harvard Business School and the larger Boston scholarly community. About two-thirds of the fellow's time will be available for research of his or her own choosing. A travel fund and a book fund will be provided. The second purpose is to provide an opportunity for the fellow to participate in the activities of Harvard Business School.
Approximately
one-third of the fellow's time will be devoted to school activities, including attendance of the Business History Seminar, and working with faculty teaching the business history courses offered in the MBA curriculum. The fellow is required to research and write a case, under the direction of a senior faculty member, to be used in one of the business history courses. 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, 2010. It is the responsibility of the applicant to solicit these letters. The fellowship will be awarded and all applicants notified by mid-January 2011. Hard copy materials submitted with applications will be returned only if accompanied by postage and a self-addressed return envelope.
Applications should be received no later than October 1, 2010 and submitted online to:
www.hbs.edu/research/faculty-recruiting/faculty-applicants. If there are
materials that can only be sent in hard copy, please send them to:

______________________________________________
2. The Alfred D. Chandler Jr. Travel Fellowships
The purpose of this fellowship is to facilitate library and archival research in business
or economic history. The program will encourage research concerned to relate historical
reality to underlying economic theories of business development. Individual grants range
from $1,000 to $3,000.
Three categories of applicants will be eligible for grants:
Harvard University graduate students in history, economics, business administration, or a related discipline, such as sociology, government, or law, whose research requires travel to distant archives or repositories; Graduate students or nontenured faculty in those fields from other universities, in the US and abroad, whose research requires travel to the Boston-Cambridge area (to study, for example, in the collections of the Baker, Widener, McKay, Langdell, Kress, or Houghton libraries); and Harvard College undergraduates writing senior theses in these fields, whose research requires travel away from Cambridge.
The deadline for receipt of applications is November 1 of the calendar year preceding that in which the fellowship is to be used. For additional information, write to Walter A. Friedman, Rock Center 104, Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163. Email wfriedman hbs.edu

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Quantitative Economic History
Postdoctoral Research Associate wanted
Winton Capital Management Research Associate in Quantitative Economic History
(fixed term - two years)
Winton Capital Management, Oxford, Oxfordshire
Centre for Financial History, Newnham College, Cambridge
Closing Date: 23/04/2010
Salary: £40,000-£45,000 p.a and £5000 in taxable travel allowance
Location: Centre for Financial History, Newnham College, Cambridge and Winton Capital Management, Oxford
Reports to: Principal Investigator (Dr DD Coffman) and Data Team Leader (Mr M Lett)
Duties: Responsible for critiquing existing methods used to construct long-term, high-frequency time series for historical price data and for constructing alternate methodologies for use by both the principal investigator and the firm; secondary duties to include teaching on thse Economics Tripos (Part I, Paper 3 or 5; Part IIa, Paper 4 or 7; PartIIb, Papers 11, and 6 or 7), which will be compensated separately at the regular supervisory rate.
Main job: The research associate will assist the director of the Centre for Financial History with grant proposals to create a second International Price History Commission. The first IPHC was established in the 1930s to compile and publish price histories for the United States, Britain, Spain, France and Russia. These studies were based primarily upon low frequency data sets drawn from institutional accounts. Because of the methodological challenges of constructing data series using both high frequency data (auto-correlation caused by methods used to calculate means) and heterogeneous data sources (primarily comparability), the directors of the original project jointly made a decision to sacrifice precision for accuracy. The proposed project will use those sources, and will also extend the geographical reach to include Asia and the Near East. The research associate may also be asked to assist the data team at Winton with the construction of total return indices, primarily for commodities but also for sovereign bonds (interest rates), foreign exchange, and equities. The research associate will collaborate in the preparation of publications and will be encouraged to attend conferences and to apply for small grants under his or her own name. On average, the post-holder should expect to spend two days per week in Cambridge, two in Oxford, and will have one reserved for his or her own work, though in practice time in each location will be scheduled in blocks.
Personal Specifications:
* Hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent, i.e. Sc.D. or D.Phil.) in Economics, Economic History or a related field (Land Economy, Agricultural Economics, Finance, etc). Students at point of completion are welcome to apply, but the degree must be confirmed before commencement of post;
* Highly skilled in time-series analysis and financial econometrics;

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

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.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Quantitative Economic History
Postdoctoral Research Associate wanted
Winton Capital Management Research Associate in Quantitative Economic History
(fixed term - two years)
Winton Capital Management, Oxford, Oxfordshire
Centre for Financial History, Newnham College, Cambridge
Closing Date: 23/04/2010
Salary: £40,000-£45,000 p.a and £5000 in taxable travel allowance
Location: Centre for Financial History, Newnham College, Cambridge and Winton Capital Management, Oxford
Reports to: Principal Investigator (Dr DD Coffman) and Data Team Leader (Mr M Lett)
Duties: Responsible for critiquing existing methods used to construct long-term, high-frequency time series for historical price data and for constructing alternate methodologies for use by both the principal investigator and the firm; secondary duties to include teaching on thse Economics Tripos (Part I, Paper 3 or 5; Part IIa, Paper 4 or 7; PartIIb, Papers 11, and 6 or 7), which will be compensated separately at the regular supervisory rate.
Main job: The research associate will assist the director of the Centre for Financial History with grant proposals to create a second International Price History Commission. The first IPHC was established in the 1930s to compile and publish price histories for the United States, Britain, Spain, France and Russia. These studies were based primarily upon low frequency data sets drawn from institutional accounts. Because of the methodological challenges of constructing data series using both high frequency data (auto-correlation caused by methods used to calculate means) and heterogeneous data sources (primarily comparability), the directors of the original project jointly made a decision to sacrifice precision for accuracy. The proposed project will use those sources, and will also extend the geographical reach to include Asia and the Near East. The research associate may also be asked to assist the data team at Winton with the construction of total return indices, primarily for commodities but also for sovereign bonds (interest rates), foreign exchange, and equities. The research associate will collaborate in the preparation of publications and will be encouraged to attend conferences and to apply for small grants under his or her own name. On average, the post-holder should expect to spend two days per week in Cambridge, two in Oxford, and will have one reserved for his or her own work, though in practice time in each location will be scheduled in blocks.
Personal Specifications:
* Hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent, i.e. Sc.D. or D.Phil.) in Economics, Economic History or a related field (Land Economy, Agricultural Economics, Finance, etc). Students at point of completion are welcome to apply, but the degree must be confirmed before commencement of post;
* Highly skilled in time-series analysis and financial econometrics;
* Advanced knowledge of macroeconomics and public finance;
* Attention to detail and ability to work independently;
* Willingness to work longer hours to meet deadlines with expectation of equivalent time off later;
* Knowledge of Office suite, electronic databases, and relevant statistical packages.
To apply:
Send a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names and contact information for two academic referees to Dr D. Maris Coffman by email or by post to the following address:
