"Research Associate in Early Modern Global History"

Applications are sought for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Prof Edmond Smith, conducting research for the ERC-selected, UKRI-funded project "Institutional Transformation and the Entangled Commercial Cultures of International Trade, 1450-1750" (INTRECCI). The project is based in the Department of History at The University of Manchester. The PDRA will be expected to work closely with Prof Smith and the rest of the project group, composed of two other full-time PDRAs, Dr Mariana Boscariol and Dr Shounak Ghosh.

The INTRECCI project is a five-year project that investigates globalisation’s multipolar and adaptive institutional origins. It employs a global and intrinsically comparative analysis on institutional transformation between 1450 and 1750 – to challenge long held beliefs about the origins of capitalism, globalisation and European economic dominance.
