[Timothy W. Guinnane]

Post-doctoral Fellowship in Economic History

The Department of Economics at Yale University announces a new 
post-doctoral fellowship in Economic History. The purpose of this 
fellowship is to advance research and cross-disciplinary dialogue in 
History and Economics. The program will have one fellow at a time. 
Candidates must hold a PhD in History, Economics, or Economic 
History. In the first and every alternating year preference will be 
given to candidates with a PhD in History.

Fellowships will commence with the 2008-2009 academic year. They will 
be awarded for one year, but might be extended to a second year. The 
fellow will have competitive salary and benefits, plus access to all 
library and other facilities of Yale University.

The fellow will be expected to undertake a program of research and 
possibly additional coursework after consultation with relevant 
faculty at Yale. The fellow will also take part in the economic 
history program, including the weekly seminar and other events.

Deadline for applications is November 1, 2007. Applicants must have 
been awarded their PhD or equivalent degree no earlier than July 1, 
2005. Applicants who have not completed the PhD at the time of 
application must include a statement from the major advisor stating 
that the degree will be finished by June 30, 2008. Scholars whose 
Ph.D is from Yale University are not eligible. Applicants will be 
notified of our decisions by January 15, 2008.

The application consists of three letters of recommendation, a 
curriculum vita, a statement of the candidate's research interests 
(which should stress the candidate's plans for the fellowship period) 
of no more than 1500 words, and a writing sample such as a 
dissertation chapter or journal article or book chapter.

The fellowship is open to scholars of all periods and geographic 
areas, but preference will be given to candidates whose period 
precedes the 19th century, and whose geographic area of study is not 
Europe or North America. The candidate's country of citizenship is 
irrelevant.

Yale University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
