Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate in Medieval German History, in the Department of German and Dutch, working with Professor Christopher Young and Dr Mark Chinca. The vacancy has been created in the context of an AHRC- funded project
on “Kaiserchronik: Literature and History in the German Middle Ages”, with additional funding from the Cambridge Humanities Research Grants Scheme.Salary: £28,982 - £37,768 per annum<span style="font-family:"MS Mincho"">

Closing Date: 12:00 midnight (BST) on 24 June 2016 <br>
Interview date (via Skype): 30 June / 1 July 2016 </b><br>
<br>
<b>The role of the Research Associate</b><br>
<br>
The successful candidate will be expected to carry out four assignments in support of the project:<br>
<br>
1) Synthesize the latest as well as the most important older scholarly literature on history-writing in the twelfth century. Concretely, the RA will write overviews suitable for inclusion in the introduction to the critical edition, as well as shorter contributions
for the textual commentary, with a focus on the following contexts and aspects: chronicle writing as a genre, and how the Kaiserchronik fits (or does not fit) with contemporary norms and expectations; interest in Rome and Roman / imperial history among twelfth-century
elites; the emergence of a mode of history writing as “serious entertainment” (N.F. Partner) embracing writers such as Geoffrey of Monmouth and Godfrey of Viterbo.<br>
2) Write a major journal article on one of the aspects listed above or on some related topic.<br>
3) Help with the organization of an international conference on Charlemagne to be held in February 2017 at the German Historical Institute London.<br>
4) Contribute to the public engagement work of the project. <span style="font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span><br>
<br>
<b>Qualifications </b><b><span style="font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span></b><br>
<br>
Candidates will normally be expected to have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant field by the time of appointment. Essential skills include: a fluent knowledge of German and English, a good reading knowledge of medieval Latin, an ability to work with primary historical
sources and the relevant secondary material, and good bibliographical skills, including relevant IT skills (or the willingness to acquire these). Good organizational skills and ability to work as part of a team are also essential. An ability to read Middle High German
is not essential, as the Research Associate will have access to the already completed English translation of the full text by the project leaders.
<span style="font-family:"MS Mincho"">
</span>You will be based in a thriving research community in German Studies at Cambridge, with opportunities to participate in German, history and cross-disciplinary seminars throughout the University. There will also
be opportunities to contribute to teaching within the Department, supervising and examinations.<br>
