Description
The Economic History Society, in conjunction with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), offers one-year postdoctoral fellowships in economic and/or social history. Based at the Institute, the fellowships support recently completed doctoral researchers undertaking advanced work with a view to publication in leading refereed academic journals in these fields.
The program combines individual research with participation in the Institute’s scholarly community. Fellows attend appropriate seminars regularly, including the Fellows’ Seminar, present papers on their research, and provide information and help to scholars working in the same field. Residence in London is not required, but participation in Institute activities is expected.
