Description
The Economic History Society, in conjunction with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), offers postdoctoral visiting fellowships tenable at the IHR. The programme supports advanced research across a broad range of economic and social history, helping new researchers strengthen their publication records and sustain careers in high-quality research. Proposed work should extend beyond the scope of the doctoral thesis, although it may build on it, and have prospects for publication in leading refereed journals or monograph series.
Fellows join a supportive academic environment with access to the Wohl Library, electronic resources, seminars, events and free research training courses. Mentorship, tailored workshops and career guidance support publication planning, grant applications and future employment. Fellows need not live in London, but are expected to participate regularly in IHR seminars and share information and assistance with scholars in their field.
