Dear colleagues,
 
we would be grateful if you could draw the attention of suitable candidates to the following post-doctoral opportunities in the German Department at Leeds.
 
In the course of the last five years, the German Department at Leeds has developed a special focus on post-45, and especially post-1990, German Cultural Studies. Building on a number of recent conferences, edited volumes and monographs in this area, as well as on successful grant applications and international projects (see: www.german.leeds.ac.uk), we are now hoping to attract applications for the following schemes:
 
1. A post-doctoral position for an AHRB bid on the subject of German Wartime Suffering, to be submitted in November 2004 and to begin, if successful, in 2005. For further details contact Stuart Taberner ([log in to unmask]), Paul Cooke ([log in to unmask]) or Professor Bill Niven of Nottingham Trent University ([log in to unmask]). The scope and area of a Postdoctoral Fellow's participation is to be negotiated.
 
2. Applications are invited for Leverhulme Postdoctoral Fellowships (www.leverhulme.org.uk/) or British Academy Early Career Fellowships (www.britac.ac.uk) in any area of post-1945 German Studies, potentially part-funded by Leeds University. For further information contact Professor Frank Finlay ([log in to unmask]).
 
3. Applications are invited from suitably qualified German nationals for a Feodor Lynen-Forschungsstipendium (www.avh.de/de/programme/stip_deu/index.htm) in areas which can be supervised by Humboldt scholars Paul Cooke (www.german.leeds.ac.uk/staff/pc.htm) or Stuart Taberner (www.german.leeds.ac.uk/staff/sjt.htm).
 
with best wishes
 
Stuart Taberner, Paul Cooke.
