Gerald Averay Wainwright Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Near Eastern Archaeology

On behalf of the Board of the Gerald Averay Wainwright Fund, the Faculty of Oriental Studies is seeking a scholar of great potential to take up a postdoctoral research fellowship in Near-Eastern Archaeology with effect from 1 October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment will be for 1 year in the first instance but may be extended for a further 2 years subject to the availability of funding and to satisfactory review. 

The Fellowship is intended to enable a scholar in the early stage of her/his career to carry out research into the non-classical archaeology (not literary or philological studies) of any country or countries of Northern Africa and the near East (from Morocco to Afghanistan). In addition to the salary, up to £2,500 p.a. may be claimed in research expenses.  

Candidates should be in possession of a doctoral degree in a relevant field, and must be able to demonstrate the ability to carry out a major piece of publishable research.

The closing date for applications and for receipt of letters from two referees is 12.00 noon on 14 February 2014.
