University of York
(Ref: BR07230)
The focus of this post-doctoral project will be on investigation of the creation of landscape values and institutional structures of land use and management in Eastern Africa over the last c. 200 years, aimed at comparing and contrasting the perceptions and evaluations of landscapes and their resources by different indigenous communities, state-level institutions (under both colonial and post-colonial regimes), and international conservation and heritage management bodies. Data will be assembled through a combination of literature-based surveys, field interviews and participant observation, typically conducted in conjunction with other HEEAL field projects but also with the option for separate targeted field studies as required.
The individual appointed will be expected to collaborate closely with the other HEEAL Post-doctoral Researcher and to assist with the supervision of some of the three PhD/Early Stage researcher positions that will also begin in October 2007.
Salary, which is fixed for the duration of the contract, will be within the range £31,344 - £33,313 per annum. The appointment will be from 1st October 2007, or as soon as possible thereafter, for 3 years in the first instance.
Closing date for applications: 12.00 noon on Tuesday 26th June 2007.
