Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued. 

We are seeking a full-time post-doctoral researcher to work on a major European Research Council funded project. The researcher would lead the project’s investigation into veterancy among colonized and/or Indigenous populations within the imperial polity of the United States of America. The project is based in the Arts and Humanities Institute and the History Department at University of Maynooth. This post offers the opportunities to join a dynamic research environment with state-of-the-art research facilities. The project includes funding to support extensive archival work overseas.  

Project Details

COLVET is a four-year long European Research Council Starting Grant project led by Professor Dónal Hassett. It explores how colonized peoples grappled with the legacies of military service. It will develop the first comprehensive and comparative account of colonial veterancy in what was the foundational era for modern conceptions of the veteran, the interwar period. Grounded in a collaborative and comparative methodology, the project will trace and analyse the contrasts and commonalities in the evolution and reception of veteran policy within, across, and between the French Empire, the Italian Empire, the American colonial empire, British-ruled East or Southern Africa, and British-ruled India. The project has three key strands, exploring the way veterancy was defined, demarcated and debated in colonial contexts, the systems set up to cater for and control veterans, and the political impact of veterancy on the colonial order. This innovative research will not only deepen our understanding of veteran history around the world in the period but also help us reimagine the concepts we use to analyse veterans and their stories so they can better capture the diversity of veteran experiences.

For an insight into the project’s work, please see the project website: https://colvet.eu/
