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 center of Canada's research heartland. Nine Canadian universities are located within 90 minutes ground travel. Both Economics and History at Guelph offer MA and PhD degrees. The University of Guelph has considerable strength in rural history, Scottish history, applied econometrics and in resource and environmental economics. 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
