As postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct archival and literature research within the aforementioned project. Together with the principal investigators, Dr. Marco in ’t Veld (wp 2) and Dr. Maurits den Hollander (wp 1), you will dive into the history of the wine trade in cities such as Wesel, Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz, Mainz, and/or Worms. What expectations did wine merchants have of the urban institutions? Did cities meet these expectations? And if so, how exactly? Did cities collaborate with each other, or did they rather compete?
The project team consists of two principal investigators and two postdoctoral researchers, and is embedded in the theme ‘Urban Constitutionalism’ of the faculty’s research program ‘Global Law and Governance’. Our department has approximately twelve legal historians. Many of them work on closely related topics, for instance, as part of the ERC-project Ca PANES, which investigates the economic sovereignty of several medieval and early modern cities.
Tilburg University is curious about how you can contribute to our research, education, impact, and the team you will be joining.

- A salary of minimum €4,492 and maximum €6,148 gross per month for full time employment, based on UFO profile Postdoctoral Researcher and salary scale 11 of the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Tilburg University uses a neutral remuneration system for salary scaling that is based on relevant education and work experience;
