We are looking to appoint two David Bruce Centre Fellows with the primary aim of completing a substantial writing project, normally a monograph based on a successfully completed PhD or a series of articles for international, peer-reviewed journals. The project should focus on any aspect of US affairs, which might include, but is not limited to, US literature and culture; US history; US politics; and the USA’s transnational relations.

The David Bruce Centre for the Study of the Americas (DBC) is an interdisciplinary research centre located within the Faculty of Business, Law, Humanities and Social Sciences (BLHUMSS). These positions are focussed specifically on US affairs. Successful candidates must hold a PhD on a subject related to US affairs (awarded no more than 24 months before the starting date); be able to demonstrate their excellent, rigorous and innovative research ability; and evidence their competence to carry out the project in a timely manner. Good interpersonal skills are also essential.

Informal inquiries can be directed to the DBC Director, Dr. James Peacock.
