About the role
The Voltaire Foundation is a busy and friendly research department within the Humanities Division, based at 99 Banbury Road, Oxford, specialising in the European 18th Century and digital text editing.
We seek a Postdoctoral Researcher who will pursue their own two-year research project in the general area of the history and culture of the Enlightenment in Europe or North America (c. 1680-1815). This project may include a consideration of the legacies of Enlightenment debates and the present-day reception of certain central eighteenth-century areas of concern such as campaigns for the abolition of the slave trade or early forms of constitutionalism.
The Postdoctoral Researcher will also assist with a programme of events relating to the reception of Enlightenment debates in the modern world, such as lecture organisation and seminars.
The role is fixed-term for 2 years and fully supported by the United Grand Lodge of England in recognition of the strong connection between Freemasonry and Enlightenment values.
