1. Three doctoral positions in LuxembourgI would like to draw your attention to the opening of three PhD positions in economic and financial history at the University of Luxembourg, within the ERC project DIGSHELL – Digital Archaeology of Shell Companies: Infrastructures of Global Connections and Local Networks. DIGSHELL investigates the history of shell companies and the infrastructures that enabled their development throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The project focuses in particular on the actors who contributed to the emergence of financial centres – including lawyers, accountants, banks, fiduciaries, and public administrations – as well as on the transnational circulation of practices, capital, and expertise. It combines economic and financial history, global history, and digital methods within a comparative framework.
We are currently recruiting three doctoral researchers who will focus respectively on: The doctoral researchers will join an international and interdisciplinary team at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), University of Luxembourg. I would be very grateful if you could circulate these opportunities among students and early-career researchers who might be interested.
