Fellowship: Sir William Luce Fellowship, Durham University

The Sir William Luce Memorial Fund welcomes applications for the  
position of Sir William Luce Fellow which will commence in April 2010.

The Fellowship is awarded annually to a scholar at post-doctoral  
level, diplomat, politician, or business executive, working on those  
parts of the Middle East to which Sir William Luce devoted his working  
life (Iran, the Gulf states, South Arabia and Sudan), and is hosted by  
Durham University during the Easter term (26 April - 25 June 2010).  
The Fund will give some preference to proposals linked to the  
University's Sudan Archive. The Fellowship, tenable jointly in the  
Institute for Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies and Trevelyan College,  
will entitle the holder to full access to departmental and other  
University facilities such as the University Library and Information  
Technology Service. It also carries a grant, accommodation and all  
meals for the duration of the Fellowship. The Fellow is expected to  
deliver a lecture on the subject of his or her research which will be  
designated 'The Sir William Luce Lecture', and should be cast in such  
a way as to form the basis of a paper to be published in a special  
edition of the Durham Middle East Papers series.

The Sir William Luce Memorial Fund was established to commemorate the  
long and distinguished career of Sir William Luce GBE, KCMG, DL  
(1907-77) in the Middle East during the era of the transfer of power.

Applicants should send a CV, an outline of their proposed research and  
contact details for two referees by Friday 27 November 2009 to: The
