Postdoc in Global Economic and Social History / Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the Development of Europe VU Amsterdam in

Recruitment is open for a two-year postdoc position in Amsterdam within the ERC-funded project The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the Development of Europe.

The post is associated with Pepijn Brandon, Professor of Global Economic and Social History at VU Amsterdam and Senior Researcher at the International Institute of Social History. The project sits at the intersection of History, Economics, and broader social-science approaches to the long-run development of Europe.

This opportunity is relevant for researchers interested in global economic history, social history, slavery, the Atlantic world, colonialism, and European development. The announcement indicates a postdoctoral opening rather than a PhD or master's call.

Funding is tied to a large ERC-funded project; the post specifically mentions a two-year appointment in Amsterdam. No stipend amount, salary scale, or detailed eligibility criteria are provided in the post itself.

Applicants should watch for the formal vacancy notice and follow the application instructions there, as the LinkedIn post links to the recruitment announcement but does not include the full call text or deadline.
