Applications are invited for post-doctoral fellowships of up to one year. These fellowships will sponsor fully young economic historians at one of seven participating institutions: European University Institute (Italy) Paris-Jourdan (France) Jagiellonian University (Poland) London School of Economics (UK) Lund University (Sweden) Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain) University of Warwick (UK) The network also includes CEH-Moscow Lomonosov State University (Russia) which will be involved in the training and research activities of the group, as well as researchers in the CEPR Economic History Initiative.
The aim of the network is to contribute to the development of a truly European economic history profession by analysing the economic development of Europe as a whole. The network will collect pan-European data for two time-scales: the long run (i.e., the past 150 years), and the very long run (i.e., the past 1,000 years). It will use up-to-date economic techniques, both theoretical and econometric, as well as the more traditional techniques of the historian, to analyse these data and provide accounts of European growth, European economic integration, and the changing nature of Europe?s economic relationships with the rest of the world.
Core training objectives of the network include the development of a more quantitatively sophisticated approach to analysing historical data; the promotion of pan-European and comparative economic history; the exposure of historians and economists to each others? disciplines; and the development of a more ?presentist?, policy-relevant, economic history profession in Europe.
