the future of palaeography at King's College London
by George FERZOCO 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

King’s College London is undertaking what they call ‘strategic disinvestment’ and have recently informed Professor David Ganz that funding for his Chair in Palaeography will cease from 31 August this year, when he will be out of a job. This is part of a wider context whereby all academic staff in the School of Arts and Humanities at King’s have to re-apply for their own jobs before the 1st of March. They think this the “most humane way” of losing 22 academic posts. This is the only established chair in Palaeography in the UK (previously held by Julian Brown and Tilly de la Mare). The more people who write in protest the better. The people to write to are: Professor Richard Trainor, MA DPhil FRHistS AcSS FKC The Principal King’s College The Strand London WC2R 2LS United Kingdom principal(a)kcl.ac.uk copied to: Professor Jan Palmowski Head of the School of Arts and Humanities King’s College The Strand London WC2R 2LS United Kingdom jan.palmowski(a)kcl.ac.uk -- George FERZOCO gpferzoco(a)gmail.com

All successful candidates will need to have a good understanding of how research is conducted in the humanities and social sciences and will be expected to make a strong contribution to the departmental research profile. They will need to be able to work effectively as part of a team, as well as independently. They must have good communication skills and the ability to document their work in clear written English.
