Tilburg University is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in legal history for the project ‘Multilevel Governance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Cities of Commerce’. The project consists of two major work packages: ‘Professionals and the People’ and ‘The Rhine as Legal Entity? Exploring Multilevel Governance and Intercity Relations in the 16th-century Wine Trades across the Rhine Region.’ As part of the second work package, you will conduct research on regulations relevant to the wine trade in several German cities along the Rhine. You will join a team of enthusiastic (legal) historians who are studying various aspects of urban institutions in the late medieval and early modern periods.
Your position
As postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct archival and literature research within the aforementioned project. Together with the principal investigators, Dr. Marco in ’t Veld (wp 2) and Dr. Maurits den Hollander (wp 1), you will dive into the history of the wine trade in cities such as Wesel, Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz, Mainz, and/or Worms. What expectations did wine merchants have of the urban institutions? Did cities meet these expectations? And if so, how exactly? Did cities collaborate with each other, or did they rather compete?
What do we offer?
Tilburg University offers excellent terms of employment with attention to flexibility and room for (personal) development. We recognize and reward our employees and encourage the use of talents and strengths.
