The History Department at the University of Amsterdam is seeking candidates for a regular position of Assistant professor in Later Medieval History, 1000-1500. Given the department’s desire to expand beyond its current geographical coverage, applicants with a research and teaching focus outside the Low Countries and Italy are strongly encouraged to apply, especially those interested in social, cultural and urban history. Command of the Dutch and English language or a strong indication of being able to hone them in the near future is essential.

The appointment will be temporary for two years. Positive assessment and evaluation can be expected to lead to a permanent appointment of 0,8 fte.
