The Program in Economic History of the Economic Growth Centr of Yale
University invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship in Economic
History. The position is for one year, renewable for a second year, and will
begin on July 1, 2012.
The successful candidate will have office space in the Department of
Economics and will be expected to take part in the Program in Economic
History and other activities of the Department of Economics.
The Fellow will
not teach during the first year of the fellowship, but could teach in the
second year if so desired. The Fellow will be encouraged to undertake
additional training in economics and econometrics, if that is appropriate to
their research plans.
We welcome applications from scholars of all disciplinary backgrounds,
working on any period or geographical area, so long as their primary current
research focus is economic history. We prefer applicants whose PhD is not in
economics.
Fellows will receive an annual salary of approximately $55,000, as well as
standard medical insurance and other benefits. The Program will also provide
financial support for travel to archives and meetings as appropriate.
The application deadline is November 15, 2011. The application consists of a
curriculum vita, a writing sample (which can be a dissertation chapter or a
journal article), and a 1000-word description of the research to be conducted
during the fellowship period.
Applicants should also arrange for two letters
of reference, including one from the primary dissertation adviser, to be sent
to the email address mentioned below. All applicants will receive word of our
decision by December 15, 2011.
Candidates must have received their PhD (or
equivalent) degree no earlier than July 1, 2008.
Candidates who have not
completed the PhD degree at the time of application should include a
statement from the primary advisor attesting that the degree will be
completed by June 30, 2011.
Send all materials via email to Louise
Danishevsky (louise.danishevsky yale.edu).
The Program in Economic History is an inter-disciplinary activity that brings
together economic historians trained as economists, historians, lawyers, and
others. For more information on the program, please refer to: www.econ.yale.edu/~egcenter/EHindex.htm
