Applications are invited for two post-doc positions as well as two PhD studentships for work on a research project with Jessica Reinischat at Birkbeck College, University of London. The four year project is titled "The Reluctant Internationalists: A History of Public Health and International Organizations, Movements, and Experts in Twentieth-Century Europe." Two postdocs and two PhD students will be hired to start work in September/October, 2013.
She previously ran the Balzan Project at Birkbeck on "Reconstruction in the Immediate Aftermath of War: A Comparative Study of Europe, 1945-1950" for Eric Hobsbawm. Funded by his Prize from the Balzan Foundation, this project ran over several years, organizing 4 workshops and a major conference between 2005 and 2008. Its activities provide a kind of model for how Jessica's new project will be running and you can get an idea of this from the Balzan pages on the Birkbeck website at www.balzan.bbk.ac.uk.
Jessica's own email is: j.reinisch@bbk.ac.uk
