The Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan is pleased to invite applications from qualified early career scholars for the Elizabeth and Cecil Kent Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the History of Britain and the British World. This Fellowship is tenable for two years, commencing September 1, 2025. 

The Fellowship is open to any early career scholar working in the field of British History and/or the History of the British World. Applicants must have completed all the requirements for a doctorate in history by August 31, 2025.  

The successful applicant will be engaged with a research project of their own design.   

The Department of History at Saskatchewan is a vibrant community of scholars. Various faculty work on the history of Britain and the British world in Africa, the Caribbean, North America, and Asia. The Department has a large and distinguished graduate program and hosts a number of post-doctoral fellows. While the purpose of the Fellowship is to facilitate a research agenda for the Fellow, Fellows are expected to maintain residence in Saskatoon and to be active and engaged members of our scholarly community. 

The Fellowship carries an annual salary of $55,000 plus benefits with an accountable research allowance of $10,000 over the two years of the fellowship. Depending on Departmental budgets and curricula requirements, Fellows may also have the opportunity to teach one 3-credit unit course per year for additional salary.

Please send applications including curriculum vitae, a detailed plan of research, and have two letters of reference sent to the attention of the Kent Post-Doc Committee, at history.department@usask.ca.
