EH.N: Call for Applications: Post-doctoral fellowship, University of Guelph

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Economic History, Demography or Humanities
Computing

The University of Guelph invites applications for a post-doctoral
fellowship in economic history, demography and/or humanities computing. 
Its terms include pursuit of an individual research program and
participation in the University's Scottish and Canadian Census Project.
An opportunity to teach may be available. The value of the award is
comparable to other national post-doctoral award programs.  The
appointment is for 12 months and may be renewable for a second year.

The University of Guelph is 45 minutes by car from the Toronto
International Airport in the centre of Canada's research heartland.  The
University has considerable strength in rural history, Scottish history,
applied econometrics and in resource and environmental economics.  Both
Economics and History at Guelph offer MA and PhD degrees.  The census
project is particularly interested in building on these strengths and
adding expertise with systematic record linkage.

While it is anticipated that the successful applicant most likely would
be appointed to the Department of History and/or Department of
Economics, applications will be considered from scholars whose natural
home would be Sociology, Geography or elsewhere in the social sciences.

To apply, please send a cv, graduate-level transcripts, and an outline
of current research; and arrange for 2 letters of reference to be sent
directly to
