Postdoctoral Fellow – ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions
(Position No. 0029497)
Level A
Salary: $59,646 – $80,939 p.a.
Superannuation Employer contribution of 17%
Full time fixed-term position available for 3 years.
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. The project will explore the role played by such emotions as disgust, hate, fear and jealousy in rejecting, denouncing, excluding, vilifying and demonizing particular individuals and groups perceived as threats to the integrity, solidarity or ‘purity’ of community within Europe (excluding Iberia) in the period 1450 to 1700. It will especially focus on the religious language, images, symbolism and rituals that supported such practices, and served to drive historical change. The position will extend and complement a similar Centre project being conducted at the University of Adelaide, which focuses on Iberia.
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.
Benefits include 17% superannuation and generous leave provisions; generous funds for research travel; contribution to relocation expenses. These and other benefits will be specified in the offer of employment.
