Two doctoral studentships in financial history
Bangor University (United Kingdom), applications must be submitted by 1 June 2013
Two doctoral studentships at Bangor - under the supervision of Prof Santiago Carbo and Prof Bernardo Batiz-Lazo
Cashlessness, digital money and economic crisis in the payments ecosystem
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AGI637/phd-studentship-business-and-management-studies-economics/
Project overview
The advent of digital and mobile currencies has once again questioned the future longevity of cash (coins and bills) as medium of payment.
This project takes a long term view to explore how the use of cash increases or decreases (as opposed to other alternative payments such as cheques, credit and debit cards, and electronic clearing) in different countries since 1950 to date. The role of the episodes of financial crises in accelerating (or slowing down) the changes in the use of cash will be a specific factor considered in this study.
The evolution of consumer finance
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AGI676/phd-studentship-business-and-management-studies-economics/
Project overview
This project looks at the development of different markets for personal credit since 1950 in three countries: the US, UK and Spain. Personal debt and particularly mortgages were a source of the recent financial crisis. However, there are other modes of personal credit that have evolved including (but not limited by) unsecured lending, credit cards, and commercial credit. Moreover, it is unclear how financial crises have had an effect over the development and growth of specific instruments and markets for consumer finance. This research aims to determine which types of consumer finance were most affected by financial crises and the potential influence of the institutional (national) framework supporting different practices.

Book Review Editor Needed for Enterprise & Society
Book Review Editor
Enterprise & Society
Deadline for applications: April 1, 2013
Enterprise & Society: The International Journal of Business History, which is published for the Business History Conference by Oxford University Press, is looking for a new book review editor to replace Marcelo Bucheli who will step down in May 2013. The book review editor works closely with the editor of the journal, who is currently Philip Scranton, and serves as a member of the editorial board for the journal.
From its foundation, the journal’s book review section has been distinguished not only by the quality of its reviews but also by the range of books that it has covered. The ideal candidate for the position will carry on and extend this tradition. S/he will be someone with broad intellectual interests and multiple networks in the field of business history and related fields. S/he will have strong administrative and organizational skills. It should be noted that, however, that much of the administration of the book review process is conducted electronically. As a result, the journal uses a comprehensive submission and editing server, Manuscript Central, which allows the book review editor to invite, receive, and edit reviews online and automates the creation of reminders for reviewers. Based on the experience of previous book review editors, the new editor will require the assistance of a graduate student for roughly 20 hours a month (to request books, log those received, and ship them to reviewers) and a modest budget to cover the costs of telephone, postage, and supplies.
To be considered for the position of book review editor, please send a cover letter, which outlines your interest and aptitude for the job, together with a curriculum vitae to Albert Churella, Chair, Print Media Oversight Committee of the Business History Conference, Social and International Studies Department, Southern Polytechnic State University, 1100 S. Marietta Pkwy., Marietta, GA 30060, or via e-mail (preferred) at achurellspsu.edu.
All applications must be received by April 1, 2013. Potential applicants interested in learning more are welcome to contact either Roger Horowitz, Associate Director, Center for Business, Technology, and Society (rhudel.edu), or Carol Lockman, Coordinator, Center for Business, Technology, and Society (clockmanHagley.org) at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Pre-Dissertation Research Fellowship Opportunities for Doctoral Students
The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) Program is now accepting applications for the following research and training
opportunity for mid-stage doctoral students based at U.S. institutions:
Public Finance and Society: The New Historical Fiscal Sociology
Debates over fiscal policy are all over the news. The New Historical
Fiscal Sociology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that
investigates the relationship between public finance and society. In
doing so, it restores the importance of historical and social context to
the study of taxation, public debt, and state spending. Scholars in this
field pose broad historical and comparative questions about the origins
and development of fiscal policies. They also ask about the consequences
of these policies for political, social, and cultural life.
Selected fellows will work with faculty research directors Isaac Martin
(Sociology, University of California, San Diego) and Ajay K. Mehrotra
(Law and History, Indiana University Bloomington).

001CC477EC84
THE PROGRAM
DPDF Fellows work with senior faculty to formulate effective
dissertation proposals within the context of multidisciplinary research
fields. Fellows attend workshops in the spring and fall of the
fellowship cycle, which provide a framework for pre-dissertation
research and guide dissertation proposal writing. In the summer months
between workshops, DPDF fellows carry out exploratory field research on
their topics to evaluate issues of feasibility and methods of
investigation. The DPDF program covers necessary costs for workshop
participation and up to $5,000 for summer research.
ELIGIBILITY
This field is open to second and third year doctoral students in all
disciplines of the humanities and social science who are enrolled full
time in PhD programs at accredited universities in the United States.
