Deadline: 1 December 2010
KITLV has established a scholarship for the study of Early-Modern Southeast Asia (EMSA), which is roughly defined as the period between the fifteenth century and the beginning of the Age of Modern Imperialism, around 1870.
For 2011, KITLV is looking for a historian, specialized in Southeast Asian medical history, who will participate in the KITLV project History of Health, Disease and Medicine in Southeast Asia. KITLV invites scholars who have obtained a PhD to apply for this Postdoc position. The beneficiary of an EMSA scholarship is expected to conduct his/ her project primarily at KITLV, and to prepare a substantial publication.
The fellowship amounts to 20,000 Euros. All expenditure will have to be covered from this sum, including transport, housing, insurance, and research costs. The fellow will be given research and office facilities at KITLV, in the pleasant town of Leiden, the Netherlands. In principle, candidates from outside the Netherlands will be expected to reside in the Netherlands during a period of 4 to 6 months. For people from the Netherlands the fellowship will cover a period of 3 months maximum.
Supervision will be provided by Prof. Peter Boomgaard, senior researcher KITLV. Applications for the 2011 scholarship should include a resume, a brief (2-3 page) research proposal, and a proposed timetable, and should be sent before 1 December 2010 to the email shown below.
