This 21-month Research Associate position sits within the ERC project “INTRECCI: Institutional Transformation and the Entangled Commercial Cultures of International Trade, 1450-1750”. The project sets out to use archives from across the world and an interdisciplinary methodology to deliver a global and intrinsically comparative analysis that will reveal globalisation’s multipolar and adaptive institutional origins. Under the overall framework of the project, the Research Associate will contribute to both the comparative study of the project’s three case-study regions (placed within wider contexts that encompass geographies across much of Africa and Asia) as well as the connected analysis of institutional exchange between them.
The successful applicant will hold a PhD in the field of early modern, global, or economic history, or in another relevant field, ideally with expertise in the history of trade and empire in across geographic and imperial boundaries. They will have working proficiency in relevant languages, and experience working with primary sources in these languages, as well as excellent communication skills in English. The Research Associate will be expected to work closely with Prof Smith and the rest of the project group, composed of two other full-time Research Associates, Dr Mariana Boscariol and Dr Shounak Ghosh.
