澳大利亚墨尔本大学招聘历史学博士后

School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, Australia

Salary: AUD$59,646 - AUD$80,939 p.a. plus 17% superannuation

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (CHE) is a major research initiative with the lead organisation The University of Western Australia, and spread across four other Australian universities, one of which is The University of Melbourne. CHE fosters collaboration between researchers and industry partners from different disciplines and institutions across Australia and internationally.

In collaboration with the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, University of Melbourne, the Centre seeks to appoint a postdoctoral research fellow to contribute to research projects in the history of emotions (Europe,1100-1800). Working together with Professor Charles Zika and the Change Program of the Centre, the successful candidate will develop a project exploring the emotions created through practices of exclusion and rejection in early modern Europe.

In addition to publishing his or her own research in this area, the Fellow will collaborate in jointly-authored publications and be involved fully in the life of the Centre. The Fellow will also assist with the co-ordination of relevant symposia and engage in public outreach. There is an expectation that the postdoctoral fellow will be involved in some Honours/postgraduate supervision or teaching, but this is primarily a research-only position.

Close date: 19 August 2012
