It will prepare critical digital editions of the relevant texts from each monastery (Module 1); analyse comparatively the monasteries` management of their estates, especially through leasing (Module 2); define their terminology of measurement and scale (Module 3); and place their economic practices in the context of their spiritual and intellectual culture (Module 4).

You will work principally on Modules 1, 2 and 4. You will be based in the Department of History at the University of Liverpool, within the School of Histories, Languages, and Cultures. You will demonstrate a strong interest in the history of monasticism and monastic leadership in the context of early medieval western European society, as well as knowledge of applying Digital Humanities to the study of the European middle ages. You must have an excellent working knowledge of Latin, experience of working with medieval Latin texts and manuscripts and proficiency in modern Italian, German and French.

If you are still awaiting your PhD to be awarded you will be appointed at Grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that you have been awarded your PhD, your salary will be increased to Grade 7, spine point 31.
