Working together with Professor Andrew Lynch, the successful candidate will develop a project relating to the literature and culture of war, conflict and violence in the period 1100-1500.

This prestigious fellowship offers an exciting opportunity for innovative and enthusiastic scholars with demonstrated track records in medieval and/or early modern studies, and a capacity to engage in interdisciplinary research.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline in medieval and/or early modern studies.
