Applications are invited for the Evans-Pritchard Lectureship during the academic year 2012-2013.
The Lecturer will deliver a series of four to six lectures in the course of at most one term, based on field work or other indigenous primary materials concerning Africa, the Middle East or the Mediterranean, and offering an empirical analysis of social relations. Scholars in the fields of social anthropology, classical studies, archaeology, modern history and oriental studies are eligible and, other things being equal, the electors will prefer a person at the beginning or middle of their career. It is hoped that the Lectures will be published in book form.
The Lecturer will be accommodated in All Souls, and will receive a stipend.
Candidates for election should send an outline of their proposed lectures, and a list of publications, to the College Secretary by Friday 9 March 2012. They should ask two referees to send their references (preferably by e-mail) to the College Secretary.
