CMRS Career Development Fellowship in Early Modern History

Applications are invited for a Career Development Fellowship in Early Modern History at Keble College, Oxford, tenable from 1 October 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a fixed-term four-year position supported by funding from the Middlebury College-CMRS Oxford Humanities Program. The College and the Program are seeking to appoint an outstanding early career academic with research interests and teaching abilities in Early Modern History (c.1400- c.1750). Applications are welcome from historians working in any aspect of the period, including those with interests in non-European history.

The successful applicant will have a doctorate in a relevant subject and show the potential to use the period of the Fellowship to develop an international research profile. They will be required to offer up to 6 hours tutorial teaching per week for the College and/or the Centre and will therefore show evidence of ability to teach undergraduate students at the highest level. Career Development Fellows are expected to participate fully in the administration, admissions, and similar duties, of their subject. The appointee will be expected to maintain close links with the Middlebury College – CMRS Oxford Humanities Program. The Fellow will work at Keble College and be entitled to use of a teaching room. 

The stipend of the Fellow will be on the University’s Academic-related staff scale Grade 7, starting at point 29 (£34,308) and rising to point 32 (£37,474) in the fourth year. The Fellow will be entitled to free lunch and dinner at common table when the College kitchens are open. A research support allowance of £1464, and a student entertainment allowance of £518 are also available.  

Further particulars are available on the Keble College website, www.keble.ox.ac.uk, or from Mrs Trish Long, the Warden’s Personal Assistant, Keble College, Oxford OX1 3PG (trish.long@keble.ox.ac.uk).
