2-year predoctoral position in Economic History at the Arthur Lewis Lab for Comparative Development
Salary: £30 to 35K per year. Work in a research project concerning African economic history & political economy, working with Hélder Carvalhal, Soeren Henn, Nuno Palma, and James A. Robinson.
You will be responsible for data survey and collection in Portugal (Lisbon area) and, sporadically, in Angola (nearby Luanda). This position is ideal for candidates with plans to pursue future doctoral studies in economic history, historical political economy.
Note that knowledge of written Portuguese and palaeography is required. It is also desirable that the candidate has an interest in the history of Africa.
This position is ideal for those wishing to then continue to doctoral studies (possibly at the UoM, or elsewhere.)

Please note the deadline is coming next week already. This is NOT because already have a preferred candidate (we don’t), but simply because we’re trying to make sure the predoc begins as soon as possible in the coming academic year. This ad has been out for a while but it only crossed my mind to also post it here now. Come work with us!
