Applications are particularly invited from candidates wishing to pursue research in the following fields: modern French history and politics, political institutions, parties and elections, political culture, discourse and ideology.

The French Subject Group has an internationally recognised research profile spanning French history, politics, culture and other areas of French and francophone studies. Details of the Group's activities and research areas can be found at http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lss/research/subjects/french/ .
