Postdoc Opportunity: Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships at Durham University, UK

[RADISOGLOU, ALEXIS]

Dear colleagues,

 

The School of Modern Languages and Cultures at Durham University, UK, is inviting expressions of interest from candidates who wish to apply for a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship through Durham University. The School is one of the leading departments of Modern Languages in the United Kingdom. While we do not have a programme in Modern Greek Studies per se, we are very much interested in projects with a comparative, transcultural or theoretical focus. Particular strengths of the School include the area of visual arts and culture, and the Environmental Humanities. For further details, please see below.

 

With best wishes,

 

Alexis
