The Departments of History and Classics at Queen’s University invite applications from suitably qualified candidates for the Marjorie McLean Oliver Postdoctoral Fellowship in the history of Classical Antiquity and/or Medieval Europe. The fellowship will be awarded initially for a two-year term commencing July 1, 2024, and will be up for renewal for an additional one-year term. The terms of the fellowship stipulate at the donor’s bequest that only candidates who identify as women are eligible for the position. Candidates must thus self-identify as female. A postdoctoral supervisor will be named based on the successful candidate’s field of specialization.

The successful applicant will be expected to maintain an active scholarly profile and to teach one half-year course per year in their subject field, with the possibility of an additional course to be negotiated with the Chairs of History and/or Classics. 

Applicants must have completed a PhD in a discipline relevant to the position’s terms prior to beginning the fellowship. Previous teaching experience and evidence of scholarly research and publication related to the terms of the position will also be considered an asset.
