NOTES:
 * This is a Medievalist position.
 * 9/18 From an e-mail from a member of the department (forwarded to me as grad faculty at another university): "Our English department is searching for two positions: one in the long 18th century and one in medieval literature.  Both jobs are posted now and any job candidate will find the description for the long 18th century position perfectly clear  But the medieval position is oddly described.  If you read the job description, it sounds like we’re looking for a generalist, who might just have a sub-specialty in medieval literature.  But in reality that is not so.  The job is really for a medievalist.  We are searching for someone who specializes in medieval literature, and who can also teach courses in History of the English Language (this course is for our MAT students), medieval literature, ancient literature, and courses in his/her area that might also cross-list with our Women’s and Gender Studies program. In short, we are trying to get the word out to graduate programs that seem likely to send applicants our way.  We don’t want potential applicants to be put off by the ad, and we want to assure them that we seek a medievalist."


 * 9/14: Does anyone have a link to the ad on the HR site? I could not find it when I searched.
 * Position still not posted at Ithaca HR site as of 9/15, but job now posted in MLA JIL. The Interfolio link with the MLA ad suggests position will be open for applications on Sept. 19.
 * 9/18: I emailed Dr. Breen to ask about the link, and he says it should be up tomorrow or Wednesday, but the original materials requested will just be CV and cover letter, as well as the three letters of rec.

University of Rochester (NY) - Helen Ann Robbins Fellowship in Medieval Studies
The Rossell Hope Robbins Library at the University of Rochester is pleased to invite applications for the Helen Ann Robbins Fellowship in Medieval Studies. The fellowship was endowed by Helen Ann Mins and Rossell Hope Robbins to provide a period of research at the Rossell Hope Robbins Library for a woman completing a dissertation project in medieval studies. It is open to qualified applicants in all fields of medieval studies. Past fellows have worked on medieval clothing, Jews in medieval England, the Arthurian legend, courtesy books and manners, female advice figures, manuscript unity, and translation and textual transmission.

The recipient must be in residence in Rochester and making use of the Robbins Library for the academic year (up to twelve months). She must provide for her own living and travel expenses from the award, and provide her own health care. She is expected to engage in the academic life of the University. Towards the end of her residency, she will be invited to give a lecture based on her research.

The ability of the Robbins Library to support research in the area of the dissertation will be a factor in choosing the recipient of the fellowship. The Robbins Library has outstanding holdings in medieval English and French literature - including but not limited to Chaucer, the Middle English lyric, and medieval romance - and has considerable holdings in manuscript studies and medieval history and culture, particularly British. We support a number of important scholarly projects: the TEAMS Middle English Texts Series (General Editor, Russell Peck); the Chaucer Bibliographies (General Editor, Thomas Hahn); and The Camelot Project (General Editors, Alan Lupack and Barbara Tepa Lupack).

Eligibility: The Fellow must be an advanced graduate student (ABD) in good standing, who is engaged full-time in researching and writing the dissertation. She should have no more than one full year of dissertation work remaining at the start of the fellowship year.<

Stipend: $24,000

Application Deadline: December 1, 2017

Application Procedure: Applicants should submit as one PDF the application sheet, current CV, and a project proposal of 750-1000 words describing your dissertation and outlining the appropriateness of the Robbins Library to your project to the Director of the Robbins Library, Dr. Anna Siebach-Larsen <[mailto:alarsen@library.rochester.edu alarsen@library.rochester.edu]>, and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent to the same by December 1, 2017.

NOTES:

Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (DC) - Managing Editor
The Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (DOML), published by Harvard University Press, launched in 2010 with the mission to offer major literary texts of medieval and Byzantine culture in literature, history, philosophy, and other realms of learning. The series has three aims: to make texts readily accessible in both content and price to a broad readership of English speakers, while also meeting the standards of experts; to equip non-specialist readers with the basic information needed to understand and appreciate the text; and to keep volumes in print for a long time. Each volume is bilingual, presenting a source text with an English translation on the facing page. General readers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professional scholars from within and without medieval and Byzantine studies are the target audience. DOML began with a focus on three languages: Byzantine Greek, Medieval Latin, and Old English. The series now numbers 49 volumes, and is poised to incorporate additional vernacular languages with a new subseries, Medieval Iberia.

Working closely with the General Editor and the Subseries Editors, and with Harvard University Press, the Managing Editor will manage all aspects of the editorial and production process: create policies and style guides for the series, issue contracts, assign and oversee translations, set and enforce timelines, prepare the annual budget, organize annual board meetings, and plan outreach for the series, including through presentations and attendance at scholarly conferences. The Managing Editor will also train and supervise Harvard graduate students and undergraduate summer interns.

Required Qualifications
 * Advanced degree in Medieval Studies, Byzantine Studies, Classics, or related field.
 * Advanced language skills in Latin or Greek are required.
 * Familiarity with Dropbox, Asana, Word, and Excel is required.
 * Candidates must have strong computer and editorial skills, together with a background in any area of the humanities with a particular specialty in Medieval Studies. Strict attention to detail, and excellent communication skills, are particularly important.

To Apply: The position remains open until filled. Please submit résumé and cover letter detailing relevant qualifications by clicking the link below.
