Applications are invited for two 36-month postdoctoral positions at University College Dublin working on the exciting interdisciplinary Wellcome Trust funded project \u201cDrinking Cultures: The Cultural Reception of Medical Developments Related to Alcohol in Ireland, 1700-1900.\u201d The \u201cDrinking Cultures\u201d project is the first long-view study to analyse the relationship between medical constructions of alcohol misuse and literary representations of alcohol consumption in Ireland from 1700-1900. Candidates should have evidence of research expertise in Medical Humanities or 18th-19th century Irish literature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are particularly encouraged from those whose work involves studying topics such as: literary representations of alcohol or drug use; the medicalisation of habits and behaviours in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries; the cultural dissemination of medical concepts or frameworks in literary texts in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries; governmentality and the disciplinary apparatus in eighteenth or nineteenth century Irish culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Role:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are invited for two Temporary posts of Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of English, Drama & Film. The successful candidates will work on the Wellcome Trust funded project \u201cDrinking Cultures: The Cultural Reception of Medical Developments Related to Alcohol in Ireland, 1700-1900\u201d under the direction of Dr Lucy Cogan. The \u201cDrinking Cultures\u201d project is the first long-view study to analyse the relationship between medical constructions of alcohol misuse and literary representations of alcohol consumption in Ireland from 1700-1900. The project\u2019s multi-directional approach considers how the medicalisation of drunkenness 1) shaped depictions of the behaviour in Irish literature, 2) how these literary depictions impacted the wider culture, and 3) how culturally-embedded constructions of \u201cproblem\u201d drinking among the Irish then influenced medical understandings via the deep-rooted association between Irishness and drunkenness, which still affects health policy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
