Postgraduate Representative Opening


The Association for the Study of Modern and Contemporary France (ASMCF) invites expressions of interest for the role of Postgraduate Representative on its Executive Committee. The position is tenable for two years and is an excellent opportunity to be involved in the discipline on a national and international basis, develop your academic network and build your cv.
The Committee currently meets online three times a year and once in person at the annual conference (subject to change). Members are based in the UK and Ireland, and all positions are voluntary and not remunerated. Standard travel expenses for in-person meetings will be reimbursed.
