The Database of Religious History (DRH), based at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, is currently hiring two postdoctoral research fellows. Contingent upon additional funding, this may be expanded to five positions.

Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. (earned within the last five years) in a field relevant to religious history (religious studies, area studies, history, archaeology). Responsibilities will include serving as a DRH Editor and taking responsibility for filling out DRH coverage in their area of expertise, through entry contributions of their own and recruitment of colleagues. They will also be expected to participate in the academic life of the project, contribute to workshops, and attend conferences in their field. Candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with the basics of the project (what an entry looks like, the different polls and types of entries, how the DRH is structured, etc.), in order to understand the nature of the work involved, before submitting an application.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
