The Parkes Institute for Jewish/ non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton is delighted to announce a new one-month Visiting Fellowship in Jewish Eastern-European History and/or Migration.

We welcome applications from scholars at any stage of their career working on topics related to Jewish Eastern European History and/or Jewish migration. Scholars should have completed their PhD and be affiliated to a non-UK institution.

The fellowship will be for a minimum of one month and carries a bursary of up to £2500 to cover travel, accommodation and living expenses. The Parkes Institute will provide access to the Parkes Library and Special Collections, as well as to a working space and university facilities. We can also provide support for visa applications where needed.

The fellow will be based in Southampton and is expected to attend Parkes events (such as the evening seminar and doctoral seminar) and to participate in the intellectual life of the Institute. The fellow is also expected to deliver a seminar and to organise a workshop for students.

The fellowship should be taken up between 15 April and 30 June 2017.

Please send a CV and a short statement (500 words) presenting your research project and how you will use the fellowship to Dr Claire Le Foll (c.le-foll@soton.ac.uk) by 31 December 2016.
