Princeton University Davis Center and the Institute for Advanced Study Postdoctoral Fellowship in History — “Property and Poverty”

Deadline:

January 11

Length/Track:

Two years

Description:

Inviting “applications from historians studying the intellectual, legal, religious, cultural, and economic histories of property and poverty, and from social historians who explore the world of the impoverished, the practices of poor relief, the causes of poverty, and the mechanisms of dispossession. All approaches are welcome, including but not limited to: the history of intellectual property and copyright, the history of the commons, the lived experience of poverty, various forms of individual and collective ownership and resistance to them, the administrative and informational technologies enabling the development of property, and the religious and moral aspects of poverty and ownership. Intellectual, environmental, and economic historians, as well as historians of art, gender, race, and sexuality from antiquity to the modern period, whose work engages with these subjects, are encouraged to apply. Applications are welcomed from a range of historical fields, with no restrictions on either chronological period or geographical region. Please note that the Shelby Cullom Davis Center will also be conducting a separate search for a Postdoctoral Research Associate that does not involve a partnership with the IAS. Interested candidates may apply for both positions.”
