The Indian Ocean World Centre (IOWC), Department of History & Classical Studies, invites applications for two Postdoctoral positions to research the history of the Indian Ocean World (IOW), a macro region running from East Asia to Eastern Africa, in the period c.1800 to the present. The posts are to examine the impact of, respectively, (i) sulphur-rich volcanic eruptions and (ii) cyclones. This research opportunity explores the socio-economic and political impacts of such volcanism/cyclonic activity. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work engages with the experiences of peoples and communities indigenous to the IOW, from gender, age, ethnic and wealth disparity perspectives. Research topics may include, but are not limited to: agricultural production trade health, disease and medicine de
