Dear colleagues and friends,

Please find below brief details of two posts at Research Associate
(Postdoc) level that Conflict in Cities is advertising. These jobs will be
held in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge. I
have also sent further details in an attachment. Information about the
project is available on the Conflict in Cities website:
www.conflictincities.org, and about the Department on its website:
www.arct.cam.ac.uk/Arct/Home.aspx.

I'd be grateful if you would pass on the email to anyone you think would be
interested in applying, or anyone else who might have access to people who
would be suitable for either of these jobs.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Wendy

either Arabic or Hebrew and an interest in the Palestine-Israel conflict
would be an advantage.

2012, which is the project end date. Salary will be in the range of £27,183

to do with the role of urban conflict in Jerusalem. Help with organisation

post is: research on selected aspects of Jerusalem, including archival and

appropriate for someone with a PhD in architecture, architectural history,
planning, urban studies or urban geography, but other subject areas will be

with a specialization in Jerusalem and/or the Middle East is important. The
