Overview
Salary: £27,319 to £32,650 pa
Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate in the Department of Slavonic Studies working with Dr Alexander Etkind. This vacancy has arisen as a result of an award from the Newton Trust (Cambridge UK) for the collaborative research project 'Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia and Ukraine'. Also funded by a 2009 HERA JRP grant (Humanities in the European Research Area, Joint Research Program), this project will be based at the University of Cambridge and will be accomplished in association with the Universities of Bergen, Helsinki, Tartu and Groningen.
The project will involve multiple conferences, field trips and publications in which the Research Associate will play a key part. You will be required to hold a Ph.D and will have demonstrable interests in one or more fields covered by the project. You will also demonstrate a good command of Polish, a reading knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian (or an eagerness to acquire this knowledge at Cambridge), and excellent writing skills in English. You will be aiming to produce an independent monograph in a relevant area of East European Memory Studies (distinct from your doctoral dissertation), preferably by the end of 2012, in time for the 2013 REF. You will help coordinate the large research network of the project, 'Memory at War', and will be responsible for the Polish part of the interactive, state-of-the-art Internet database, which will be mapping memory events across the three target countries in real time. You may also be asked to contribute to the teaching within the Department.
Application requirements
Completed applications, a PD18 form, a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, an outline (about 1,000 words) of your proposed research in contribution to the project 'Memory at War', a list of publications, and the names and addresses of two referees who are familiar with your work in the relevant field, should be sent to The Secretary of the Appointments Committee, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge CB3 9DA [or by mailto:lb358@cam.ac.uk] by 4 pm on 18 May 2010. You are requested to ask your referees to write directly to The Secretary of the Appointments Committee by the same date.
You are also invited to submit up to two recent examples of your work for consideration by the Committee, or, in the case of work that has been published, to draw the Committee's attention to items of special relevance to your application. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to give a short presentation as part of the interview process.
Due to limitations of external funds, salary for this pensionable post will be in the range of £27,319 to £32,650 pa. The appointment will run from 1 July 2010 for 36 months, and is subject to satisfactory completion of a probationary period of six months.
