The Department of Historical Studies at the University of Milan proposes to elect three Federico Chabod Visiting Professors from overseas (one in medieval history, one in early modern history, one in modern and contemporary history) for one month in the period from the 11th February to 24th May 2019.
The program is named after Federico Chabod, one of the most distinguished Italian historians, who served at the University of Milan, and whose interests ranged from Renaissance to Contemporary age.
The Federico Chabod Visiting Professorships are intended to enable distinguished senior scholars to spend a month in Milan to pursue their own research and to lecture at postgraduate level. The tenure of each visiting professorship is negotiable, but it has to fall into term time.

Candidates must:
– have a tenure-track position at an academic institution
– have an outstanding record of scholarship

Stipend is 5.200 Euro (net of social contributions) for 10 lectures, each of which of 90 minutes (45 minutes + 15 minutes’ break + 45 minutes). The lectures are directed to postgraduate students typically 3 times a week and are given in English.
Visiting scholars will be provided with office, computer, academic email, and access to the University Libraries. We are particularly proud of the Department Library, which is open-shelves, and which offers one of the most comprehensive research collections in Italian history.
Each visiting professor will be provided with a mentor chosen from among current staff members having similar scientific interests.
