Nineteenth-Century Matters: Chawton House Library 2016-17<\/h2>\n

Outline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nineteenth-Century Matters is a new initiative jointly run by the British Association for Romantic Studies and the British Association for Victorian Studies.\u00a0 It is aimed at postdoctoral researchers who have completed their PhD, but who are not currently employed in a full-time academic post.\u00a0 Nineteenth-Century Matters will offer these unaffiliated early career researchers a platform from which to organise professionalization workshops and research seminars on a theme related to nineteenth-century studies, relevant to the host institution\u2019s specialisms.\u00a0 The focus should be on the nineteenth century, rather than on Romanticism or Victorianism.<\/p>\n

For the coming academic year Nineteenth-Century Matters will provide the successful applicant with affiliation in the form of a Visiting Fellowship at Chawton House Library<\/a> and the University of Southampton<\/a>.\u00a0 This fellowship includes a University of Southampton e-mail address, and access to its library and electronic resources for the full academic year.\u00a0 It will also provide accommodation at Chawton House Library throughout January, where the fellow will be free to develop their research and make the most of the wealth of resources held in the library.\u00a0 In return, the ECR will organise a research and professionalization event on a theme relevant to Chawton\u2019s collections, participate in a \u2018state of the field\u2019 session to be held at Chawton during the tenure of their fellowship, and acknowledge BARS, BAVS, and Chawton House Library in any publications that arise from the fellowship.<\/p>\n

Application Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interested parties should submit their CV, along with a two-page proposal on their research topic, details of the event they would organise at Chawton House Library, and an outline of why they would benefit from the fellowship.\u00a0 Applications should be sent to mw498@st-andrews.ac.uk<\/a>, or j.e.taylor1@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a> by 12th August.<\/p>\n
