Three Postdoctoral Researchers in Early Modern History Deadline: 8 May 2026 Visit website → Three postdoctoral research positions (35 months each) are available within the project 'Travellers’ interactions in early modern Italy' (TRAVEL), funded by a Consolidator Grant from the Fondo Italiano per la Scienza (FIS-2023-02909), based at the Italian-German Historical Institute in Trento (PI: Sandra Toffolo). This three-year project focuses on interpersonal encounters involving travellers in the Italian peninsula (1400-1600). It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the practical aspects of interactions involving a wide range of people on the move and, in doing so, to address more general issues concerning early modern mobility. The members of the research team will each focus on a specific geographical area, examining different aspects of encounters involving travellers: legislation, the use of urban space, communication, and material culture. For more information, see https://jobs.fbk.eu/Annunci/Jobs_FBK_is_looking_for_three_Postdoctoral_Researchers_in_the_field_of_Early_Modern_History_245158441.htm. Deadline: 8 May 2026
