Via
H-Law, we are passing along the following
job announcement from
Yale University:
The Chauncey Postdoctoral Fellowships
are up to three positions funded by the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand
Strategy for one year renewable for one additional year. We seek to
attract outstanding junior scholars from around the globe whose work
addresses questions of statecraft and grand strategy and demonstrates
excellence in one of a range of academic disciplines and methodologies.
Postdoctoral fellows must have completed their PhD degree to begin
the fellowship. They are expected to use their time at Yale to conduct
original research and prepare manuscripts for publication. Working with
an active academic community of postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows, as
well as Yale faculty in history, political science, and other
disciplines, postdoctoral fellows may examine a variety of areas of
statecraft and grand strategy, including issues of security, economic
development, environmental sustainability, global health, and human
dignity.
A member of the Yale faculty will serve as a mentor during the
fellowship and will meet on a regular basis with the fellow.
Postdoctoral fellows may teach small seminars if desired. They
participate regularly in research colloquia on campus and are granted
opportunities to present their work. Postdoctoral fellows are expected
to remain in residence through the duration of their fellowship and
contribute to the intellectual life of the Grand Strategy Program and
International Security Studies by participating in its activities and
development.
Fellows will be expected to conduct their own research and to teach
at least one course on a subject relevant to grand strategy during each
year in which they hold the fellowship. The stipend will be at least
$50,000.
The announcement lists
Law and Legal History as one of the search's "primary categories."
