Postdoctoral positions at CML

CML is hiring three new postdocs - one at SDU and two at York. Application deadline is April 3.

The Centre takes an integrated European approach to the study of medieval literature and welcomes applications from those working on the literary cultures of medieval Europe, and the wider world of which it was a part, from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean to the Middle East. Research projects will fall within the three main research areas of CML: ‘Canon and Library’, ‘Imperial Languages’, and ‘Transformations and Translocations’ and will normally result in the publication of a monograph or a series of articles in edited collections and international peer-reviewed journals.

As a postdoctoral fellow, you will develop, publish and disseminate your independent research. You will contribute to collaborative research projects and network building under the supervision of senior colleagues. You will be involved in the organisation and administration of the CML, in areas including conferences, the journal, the website and funding applications. You may have opportunity to assist in undergraduate teaching in your own area of expertise.

You will hold a PhD in a relevant area of Medieval Studies and have knowledge of medieval textual culture in at least two of the languages of medieval Europe. Your area of research expertise will complement and enhance the CML’s research strategy and range. Specialism in medieval European literature outside of England is desirable. We are seeking to make one of the three appointments (at SDU and York) in the area of Slavonic and/or Central European Literatures. As English is the main language of the CML, you will have excellent spoken and written English. You will be committed to collaboration which unites scholarship across disciplines and languages and to creating a shared research environment by being based in York and spending time in SDU.
