Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed-term position as a Postdoctoral Researcher for the project ‘STEMMA: Systems of Transmitting Early Modern Manuscript Verse, 1475–1700’, which develops and applies a data-driven approach in order to provide the first macro-level view of the circulation of early modern English poetry in manuscript. The position is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant awarded to Professor Erin McCarthy and is available for forty-two months from 1 July 2024.
The successful candidate will focus on Work Package 2, ‘Networking Early Modern Manuscript Poems’. This work package traces the transmission of John Donne’s poems within, between, and beyond the communities traditionally associated with manuscript verse circulation. The first several months of the contract will focus primarily on data preparation and reconciliation. The researcher will then develop new hypotheses about the roles of women as well as non-elite, non-urban, non-English, and multilingual people in the transmission of English manuscript verse that will be tested in international archives.
