Description
This fellowship program, offered by the Economic History Society in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), provides up to three one-year postdoctoral fellowships annually for scholars in economic and/or social history. Fellows are expected to pursue advanced research with a view to publication, participate in the academic life of the IHR (including seminars and collaborations), and contribute to the wider field through engagement and scholarly output.
