Hej alla,
Professor Matteo Millan<https://www.unipd.it/en/erc-millan> vid universitetet i Padua har bett mig dela följande information med svenska historiker: han söker en postdoktoral forskare i svensk historia för en tjänst om 24 månader (med möjlighet till 12 månaders förlängning). Det är inom ett större ERC-finansierat projekt om vapen och våld i Europa ca 1870-1970 och Matteo kommer samtidigt anställa ett par postdoks som kommer forska om andra länder. Man kommer alltså vara del av ett större forskarlag.
Jag bifogar utlysningen och har också klistrat in den nödvändigaste informationen nedan.
Den som är intresserad och har frågor kan höra av sig till Matteo: matteo.millan(a)unipd.it<mailto:matteo.millan@unipd.it>

Description of the research project.
This postdoctoral fellowship is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant 'A Disarmed Continent? Gun Culture, Gun Control and the Making of Western Europe (c. 1870-1970)'. The project is a
comparative study integrating legal, cultural, social and practical analyses of the lawful use and possession of small firearms. Within the general framework of the project, the postdoctoral
researcher will study the case of Sweden between c. 1870 and 1945. Over the course of a century (c. 1870-1970), Europe experienced a silent revolution that led to the
implementation of gun control measures and the depoliticisation and cultural deglamourisation of guns. This transition has become one of the foundations of public order, social peace and the smooth
functioning of political systems. The overall aim of the project is to explore the causes and historical processes that have led to this change and its implications for European history.
In the light of the existing literature and within the chronological framework of this fellowship (1870-1945), the postdoctoral researcher will select case studies on which to focus the research, identifying
the most appropriate sources and methodologies. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out a research project based on an integrated approach to the legal, cultural, social and practical aspects of
the lawful use and possession of small firearms by law-abiding civilians. The methodologies envisaged by the project, which the postdoctoral fellow will be invited to select and implement,
include: a) security studies; b) entangled legal history; c) guns as material objects; d) advertising; e) gender studies.
Research fellow's duties and profile
The researcher will study the use and legal possession of weapons in Sweden between 1870 and 1945. In particular, the research fellow will define case studies, collect and analyse relevant primary
sources in national and local archives and libraries. The collected sources must also be made available for consultation and analysis by the other scholars in the research group. The research
fellow will have: excellent knowledge of Swedish history; very good experience in collecting and studying archival sources; willingness to work in archives and libraries abroad; excellent
knowledge of Swedish; good knowledge of English, which will be the common language of the research group and the planned publications. The researcher must be highly motivated and willing
to work with the entire research group.
