Overview
Salary: £29,853 - £35,646 per annum (pro rata for part time hours)
Fixed Term for 18 months - 1.0 FTE (fractional appointment could be considered)
Expected start date: Between 1 August 2010 and 1 October 2010
An opportunity exists for a post-doctoral researcher to join the ESRC-funded project, 'The Living Standards of Working Households in Britain, 1904-1960, on a fixed-term basis. This is a £1.14m project run jointly from the Departments of Economics and History at the University of Sussex, by Dr Ian Gazeley and Andrew Newell. Dr Michael Hawkins is the Technical Director. The project will complete the digitisation of national household expenditure surveys of the period and systematically analyse of the evolution of living standards and poverty in early to mid-twentieth-century Britain. Part of the project will be the creation a web-based virtual centre on living standards and poverty in Britain. This virtual centre will provide policy makers, poverty agencies, public intellectuals, teachers, school children and any other interested party with the information they need to reach an informed opinion on the changing economic circumstances of working households in Britain. The centre will also give access to our data sets and the results of our empirical analysis. We will also engage in outreach to research institutes and non-HE institutions, running workshops and conferences.
The post-doctoral researcher will be responsible for data collection, data quality assurance, descriptive statistical analysis, website development and will be expected to contribute to other aspects of the project when and where appropriate.
The Department of History currently comprises 20 permanent and temporary faculty. It offers BA degrees in History, and MA degrees in Modern European History, Contemporary History, Intellectual History, Early Modern History and Modern European Jewish History. The department has an international reputation for research in Early Modern, Intellectual and Contemporary History. Members of the department have established international profiles in colonial and post-colonial studies, the history of everyday life, poverty and living standards, gender and the family, environmental history, the history of science, the history of political thought and political culture and early modern intellectual history.

The University of Sussex is committed to equality of opportunity and we encourage diversity in the workplace. The current British and European Law states that we cannot employ a person aged 16 or over who does not have permission to live and work in the UK. You should make yourself aware of how immigration laws apply to your situation before applying for any jobs. (Refer: Home Office website: www.homeoffice.gov.uk/)
Under the new Points Based System (PBS) the University may be able to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). The decision on whether to issue a CoS would depend on the resident labour market test being met and the likelihood of the preferred candidate being able to attain the required points to qualify under the PBS.
