The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, seeks to appoint an Adelaide-based Research Fellow to contribute to research projects in the history of emotions in Europe (1100-1800).
The successful candidate’s research will focus on the Centre’s ‘Change’ Program, investigating the drivers of collective emotions and change in medieval and early modern Europe, excluding the eighteenth century (i.e. 1100-1700).

He or she will also assist with leadership and administration of the Centre’s Adelaide node. In addition, there may be opportunities to undertake limited honours and postgraduate teaching.
Candidates should have experience of multi-disciplinary research, and also have demonstrable knowledge of the different theoretical approaches and research methods relevant to the history of emotions.
Working under the leadership of Professor David Lemmings, you will have a PhD in History or a related discipline and relevant publications.
