- Digitale Themenwoche zu den Kleinen Fächern an deutschen HochschulenJan 13Mittwoch, 13. Januar 2021 14:29
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
vom 8. bis zum 11. März 2021 bietet die Hochschulrektorenkonferenz gemeinsam mit dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung eine digitale Themenwoche zu den Kleinen Fächern an. Die Veranstaltung ist Teil der Initiative „Kleine Fächer-Wochen an deutschen Hochschulen“ und hat zum Ziel, die Perspektiven der Kleinen Fächer in der deutschen und europäischen Wissenschaftslandschaft zu beleuchten und zu diskutieren.
Eine zentrale Herausforderung für die Kleinen Fächer ist ihre Sichtbarkeit – sowohl hochschulintern als auch innerhalb der Wissenschaftslandschaft und der allgemeinen Öffentlichkeit. Wie können sich Kleine Fächer ins Gespräch bringen? Dieser Frage wird Prof. Dr. Carsten Könneker, Geschäftsführer der Klaus Tschira Stiftung, in seinem Keynote-Beitrag im Rahmen der Eröffnungsveranstaltung am 8. März 2021, 17-19 Uhr, nachgehen. Vom 9. bis zum 11. März 2021 bieten drei separate Thementage zu den Themenfeldern „Wissenschaftskommunikation“, „Studiengangsentwicklung“ und „Nachwuchsförderung“ vielfältige Gelegenheiten zum Austausch.
Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei unserer digitalen Themenwoche im März begrüßen zu dürfen und wären Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie dieses Save-the-Date innerhalb Ihrer Fachgesellschaft weiterleiten würden. Informationen zum detaillierten Programmablauf mit Vorträgen, Workshops, Interviews und Podiumsdiskussionen sowie Informationen zur Anmeldung geben wir im Februar an dieser Stelle bekannt.
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Inken Rabbel

- Petition gegen AntikenhehlereiJan 08Freitag, 08. Januar 2021 14:42
Posted: 30 Dec 2020 04:59 PM PST
Eine Initiative "STOP Cultural genocide !" hat eine Petition auf change.org gestartet:
Die Initiative GEC ACT (Geneva Collective Against Cultural Trade) wurde von Studierenden und Absolventen der klassischen Altertumswissenschaften der Universität Genf ins Leben gerufen. Sie zielt darauf ab, ein Bewusstsein für das Problem des Antikenhandels in Europa und der Schweiz zu schaffen.
§ GEC ACT auf facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gecact2020
§ unter @ActGeC auf twitter
§ als stopculturalgenocide auf instagram
Anlaß für die Petition war der Erste "International Day against Illicit Trafficking in Cultural Property", der von der UNESCO organisiert wurde, soweit ich sehe in Deutschland aber kaum Resonanz gefunden hat (bemerkenswerterweise ist auch die Begleitpublikation nicht auf deutsch erschienen, obwohl wir doch immer wieder Drehscheibe im Antikenhandel sind...). Dieser Tag bezieht sich auf das 50. Jubiläum des Übereinkommen über Maßnahmen zum Verbot und zur Verhütung der unzulässigen Einfuhr, Ausfuhr und Übereignung von Kulturgut der UNESCO. Dennoch haben die Anliegen des Kulturgüterschutzes in der Politik bis heute einen recht geringen Stellenwert (Brodie/ Yates 2019, 159) und zugleich war der Handel nie so umfangreich.
Dieses fehlende Bewußtsein erlaubt es Kriminellen und Terroristen, ungestraft zu agieren - so die Ausführungen zur Petition. Extremistische Ideologie werden durchgesetzt, indem die Geschichte der "Feinde" ausgelöscht und gleichzeitig Geld durch den Verkauf von Antiken geplünderter Fundstellen eingenommen wird. Daesh/ IS in Libyen, Syrien, im Irak und auch in Afrika ist noch immer ein Beispiel dafür. Gestohlene Gegenstände erscheinen mit falschen Papieren auf dem europäischen Markt, Transparenz und Rückverfolgbarkeit bleiben ungenügend.. Die Anonymität der Transaktion begünstigt Antikenhehlerei, Geldwäsche und Steuerhinterziehung.
Die Petition richtet sich an die Europäische Kommission, von der sie fordert:
1. Handeln Sie JETZT, um eine globale und umfassende Lösung für das Problem des Antikenhandels zu finden, um die großen Schlupflöcher in den europäischen Rechtsvorschriften zu schließen, die das Waschen von gestohlenem Eigentum geplünderter Länder ermöglichen.
2. Regulieren Sie den Kunst- und Antiquitätenmarkt, auch im Internet, und zwingen Sie den Verkäufer, transparenter über die Herkunft von Objekten Rechenschaft zu geben. Jeder einzelne anerkannte Kunsthändler in Europa muss mindestens so transparent wie eine Bank sein und aktuelle Aufzeichnungen über Transaktionen führen.
3. Finanzieren Sie Projekte für diejenigen, die helfen können, die gestohlenen Artefakte sicherzustellen - die Strafverfolgungsbehörden (Polizei, Zoll, Grenzschutz, Staatsanwaltschaft) mit Hilfe der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft und der neuen verfügbaren digitalen Werkzeuge.
4. Überwachen Sie aktiv die Freihafensysteme, die zur Steuerhinterziehung, Lagerung und internationalen Verbringung gestohlener Gegenstände eingesetzt werden.
5. Sensibilisieren Sie Sammler für die Infiltration gefälschter und gestohlener Antiken in den Markt. Der Kauf von Fälschungen ist eine schlechte Investition, mit der kriminelle und terroristische Netzwerke finanziert werden können.
Letztlich fordert die Petition nur ein, was eine Studie, die von der Europäischen Kommission selbst in Auftrag gegeben wurde, auch an Empfehlungen gegeben hat.

Frames and Framing in Antiquity II: Sources in Contexts – Materiality, Affordances, Entanglements, and Communicative Dynamics
Date: 15–17 October 2021
Format: Online via Zoom
Organizers: Elisabeth Günther, Institute for Digital Humanities (IfDH), Georg August University of Göttingen, Germany; email: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

Proposal Submission Deadline: 10 February 2021
Acceptance Notice: 1 March 2021
Paper Submission Deadline: 1 September 2021
Frames and Framing in Antiquity II builds on the results and discussions of the first conference (IHAC & IfDH, 16–18 October 2020) and aims at linking different ancient source materials, contexts, and actors in order to explore entanglements, communicative dynamics, and affordances of frames and framing. While ancient source categories (literary texts, inscriptions, coins, papyri/ostraca, archaeological remains) are often treated separately we seek to analyze interrelations, interdependencies, and entanglements of these sources within their respective contexts.
Based on frame and framing models from the field of sociology, psychology, and communication studies – and particularly inspired by the works of Erving Goffman, Charles Fillmore, and Marvin Minsky – we understand frames as descriptive tools to analyze how people understand, react to, and are influenced by situations and activities (frame analysis); while the phenomenon of framing assesses how individuals or institutions might use, modify, or challenge existing frameworks by creating new frames.
As methodological tool and heuristic approach, frames and framing offer the possibility to make ancient communication, discourse, and negotiation processes as well as practices visible. Hence, we see ancient sources not only as passive media but as active partners in various frame and framing processes. Ancient sources are frames with framing potential per se that link to actors producing or perceiving them, who themselves live, (re-)act, and rule their world within and through frames and framing.
Therefor we welcome papers that focus on these various interrelations and interactions of sources and context(s). This includes but is not restricted to questions of space, time, agency, affordances, and their communicative potential. We particularly welcome papers that link several sources/materials/media and contexts with each other. Moreover, we strongly encourage paper submissions built on cooperation of researchers of different fields and disciplines of research.
Proposals of c. 300 words should be sent, together with a CV, to the conference organizers, Elisabeth Günther & Sven Günther: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

The conference will be held online, jointly organized by the Institute for Digital Humanities, Georg August-University of Göttingen, Germany, and Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations (IHAC), Northeast Normal University, Changchun, China. The preliminary papers must be submitted until 1 September 2021, in order to be circulated among the speakers / respondents for promoting a profound discussion. Selected articles will be published as a special supplement volume of the Journal of Ancient Civilizations (JAC) after a full double-blind peer-review process (submission deadline for papers: 10 February 2022).

- Family Affairs: Ancient families in conflict – among legacy, resilience, and identityDez 07Montag, 07. Dezember 2020 08:39
Workshop, 15.-16.01.2021, University of Hamburg
Families are at the heart of societies. In this way, they play a central role in the formation of pre-modern societies; they convey existing social norms, set role models and present the social starting position of the individual.
In addition to emotional ties, family networks offer career prospects and financial security, especially in a wide variety of conflicts. These concern aspects of identity, legacy, resilience, or legitimacy, challenging families throughout Antiquity.
Since family structures are continually changing, they respond to social and existential requirements as well as to personal expectations and individual lifestyles, showing that individuals more commonly defined their relationships beyond legal limitations.
Therefore, the examination of families as multifaced and multi-layered constructs and their reaction to varied conflict situations promises once again exciting insights into aspects of identity, mobility and migration.
The planned workshop shall give an interdisciplinary group of researchers, including those at an early stage of their career, a platform to discuss such questions of conflict in ancient families from different perspectives.
Possible questions to cover the topic might be:
• What could legal and/or societal limitations lead up to conflict situations (e.g. problems of illegitimacy)? Were the legal status and the societal norm truly congruent or did one differ the other?
• What kind of effects do conflicts have on family structures?
• How did family identities shift over time? What was the reason for changes, and what were the consequences?
• Is it possible to define a resilience factor for ancient families?
Those interested in participating, please send an abstract of max. 600 words for a presentation of 15-20 minutes to Nadine Leisner PhD (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!) [and/or Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein! ] until 20.12.2020. Workshop languages are German and English.
Due to the ongoing SARS-CoV-19/COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be held online.

- Loneliness in AntiquityNov 06Freitag, 06. November 2020 08:43On behalf of Albert Joosse, I send you the following call:Dear colleagues,I am starting a series of podcasts about experiences of loneliness / ervaringen in eenzaamheid in the ancient world, aimed at the general public in this country. During our new lockdown, perhaps we can help people by reflecting on what it means to be lonely, and how different people in antiquity responded to experiences of loneliness. I am looking for people who would be willing to be interviewed for about 12-15 minutes about a figure, or a location, material remains, a text that says something about what it was like for people in antiquity to be or to feel lonely, isolated, or cut off from others. How did they conceptualize loneliness? What were the material conditions of loneliness? How did they deal with it? The project is inspired by a video series initiated by my Australian colleague Dawn LaValle, see http://www.historyofemotions.org.au/research/research-projects/the-emotions-of-isolation/. If you are interested in being interviewed for one of the episodes, please write to me: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!.In practical terms, I would ask you to write about half a page or a page with your thoughts on the figure/text/site/object etc. of your choosing. Note that this does not have to be new and original research, but something that you think will interest the general public/listeners. I will then formulate a number of questions which are structured around the information you have provided, and these will form the structure for our conversation.It would be great to have a range of disciplines represented, so I would be keen to hear from as wide a range of people as possible. Let me know if you have questions.Best wishes,Albert Joosse

- Économie politique et fiscalité dans l’Orient hellénistique et romain - visioconferenceJan 15Freitag, 15. Januar 2021 11:57
A travers les cultures et les époques, les genres et les sexes ont rarement été limités à la seule dualité masculin-féminin. Dans ce numéro, les auteurs ont invités à s’intéresser à ce qui se situe sur ce spectre mais aussi au-delà de cette frontière binaire du genre. Peuvent être appréhendés, à la liberté des auteurs, les axes suivants : transidentité, androgynie, intersexuation, fluidité, travestissement, castration, etc. Les articles pourront aborder ces thèmes et d’autres à travers les sources archéologiques, épigraphiques, iconographiques, par l’étude des mythes ou des constructions sociales, mais aussi questionner le regard porté par les études historiques et archéologiques modernes sur le genre et la sexuation dans les sociétés anciennes et médiévales.
Appel à communication pour la journée d’études «Économie politique et fiscalité dans l’Orient hellénistique et romain»Journée d’études organisée par Dina Frangié-Joly (ATER en Histoire ancienne, ULCO, UR 4030 HLLI) et Michaël Girardin (Maître de conférences en Histoire ancienne, ULCO, UR 4030 HLLI) le 18 juin 2021 en visioconférence. Le projet de cette journée serait de faire dialoguer des spécialistes, historiens, philologues, papyrologues, épigraphistes et archéologues des deux disciplines (économie et fiscalité) afin de découvrir comment elles pourraient plus étroitement travailler ensemble et mettre en commun leurs savoir-faire techniques et théoriques. L’appel à propositions est ouvert jusqu’au vendredi 19 mars 2021. La réponse sera donnée dans les quinze jours. La journée d’études aura lieu en visioconférence organisée depuis Boulogne-sur-Mer (Université du Littoral –Côte d’Opale) le 18 Juin 2021. Les travaux sont susceptibles de donner lieu à publication sous la forme d’un dossier thématique dans une revue spécialisée. - Tagungen
- XIII Symposium Syriacum et au XI Congrès d'études arabes chrétiennes Paris, 4-9 juillet 2022Jan 15Freitag, 15. Januar 2021 11:35
Chères et chers collègues,
Nous espérons que vous et vos proches vous portez aussi bien que possible en cette période difficile.Comme promis, nous reprenons contact avec vous pour vous donner des nouvelles de l’organisation de nos congrès (Symposium Syriacum et Congrès d’études arabes chrétiennes).Malheureusement, la persistance de la crise sanitaire et le manque de visibilité sur la situation dans les prochains six mois vont rendre difficile l'obtention des autorisations de voyager ou le feront trop tard pour pouvoir prendre un billet d'avion pour le mois de juillet. Nous ne pouvons donc pas garder la tenue des congrès en juillet 2021, contrairement à ce que nous aurions souhaité.
Nous les reporterons donc en 2022, et plus précisément du 4 au 9 juillet 2022.Cet été-là aura lieu également le congrès des études coptes à Bruxelles, alors que le congrès du SEERI au Kérala prévu la même année sera décalé à 2023 (ce dont nous remercions chaleureusement les organisateurs), afin que la périodicité habituelle de nos deux manifestations scientifiques ne se chevauche pas.
Nous reprendrons contact avec vous en 2021 pour mettre à jour les tables rondes et séances thématiques.
Avec nos pensées les plus amicales et nos meilleurs vœux pour les fêtes imminentes : ܥܐܕܐ ܛܒܐ!

- Konferenz der 'Association for the Study of Marble and Other Stones in Antiquity'Jul 05Sonntag, 05. Juli 2020 11:17
Dear colleagues,
it is our privilege to invite you on behalf of the ASMOSIA Executive Committee to join us in the 13th ASMOSIA meeting which will take place in Vienna, Austria between September 20 and 25, 2021.
The topics of the conference will deal with the basic theme of ASMOSIA, which is the investigation of all kinds of stones in the interface of archaeology and natural sciences. Besides the exchange of experience, and knowledge the conference intends to demonstrate progress and results in our field during the last years. In this sense the meeting shall offer a platform for discussion and reunion of the ASMOSIA “family”.
The sessions will encompass provenance and use of marbles and other stones, quarrying techniques and transport, weathering problems and restoration, and several more. As the conference will take place at the external frontier of the Roman Empire north of the Alps we will organize a session on
»Production and trade of marble and other stones in the Alpine and Danube provinces – regional resources and Mediterranean imports«.Particular focus will be on poster sessions to these topics, planned as a separate program item without any parallel sessions.
Vienna offers several advantages for carrying out this conference, such as:
- Easy accessibility in the centre of Europe, as Vienna is a hub of European and international transport.
- Longstanding tradition of interdisciplinary archaeological-scientific activities in various of different institutions for more than 150 years.
- 425 hotels in all categories with 34,678 rooms and a broad range of cultural attractions
The venue will be the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien and its Ephesos Museum in the very centre of Vienna. The location offers elegant surroundings with an appropriate infrastructure in an imperial atmosphere.
Looking forward very much to meeting you in Vienna!

- 17. Internationale Tagung zum Provinzialrömischen KunstschaffenJul 05Sonntag, 05. Juli 2020 11:10
Kernthema der Tagung sind die Steindenkmäler der römischen Provinzen in ihren unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen als Bestandteile von architektonischen und skulpturalen Ensembles oder als Inschriftträger. Die Denkmäler sollen dabei möglichst in der gesamten Bandbreite ihrer Aussagekraft beleuchtet und in ihren kulturgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt werden. Die methodische, chronologische und geographische Erweiterung des Untersuchungsfeldes ist ausdrücklich erwünscht, sofern sie dem vertieften Verständnis des Kernthemas dient.
Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, den integrativen Ansatz in der Erforschung der provinzialrömischen Steindenkmäler zu fördern, indem neue Untersuchungsmethoden vorgestellt und diskutiert, spätantike Übergangsprozesse einbezogen und Randzonen des Römischen Reichs bevorzugt beachtet werden. Andere Fundgattungen, beispielsweise Bronzen oder Münzen, sollen berücksichtigt werden, wenn sie neue Aspekte zum Kernthema beitragen.
Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer sind eingeladen, ihre Präsentationen und Diskussionen an einem der folgenden Schwerpunktthemen zu orientieren:
– Neue Methoden der Analyse, Darstellung und Auswertung von antiken Steindenkmälern
Im Mittelpunkt stehen der wissenschaftliche Mehrwert und die Perspektiven, die der verstärkte Einsatz naturwissenschaftlicher Untersuchungsmethoden und die Anwendung neuer Technologien bei der Erfassung, Dokumentation und Darstellung von Steindenkmälern bieten.
– Spätantike Monumente
Gefragt wird, inwiefern sich die tiefgreifenden gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen ab der 2. Hälfte des 3. Jahrhunderts im Bestand, in der Beschaffenheit und in der Verwendung der Steindenkmäler widerspiegeln. Besonderes Interesse gilt der Datierung und Kontextualisierung spätantiker provinzialrömischer Plastik und den Übergängen zum Frühen Christentum.
– Neufunde und aktuelle Themen
Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung können darüber hinaus Neufunde vorgestellt und zur Diskussion gebracht werden. Hier bietet sich auch die Möglichkeit, Einblicke in laufende Forschungsprojekte und akademische Arbeiten zu geben.CRPA-2021

- Assistant Professor of History in the period c.300-c.950 -DurhamJan 12Dienstag, 12. Januar 2021 09:27
Durham University
Assistant Professor of History in the period c.300-c.950 (CE) (HIST21-63)
A globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, a collegiate community of extraordinary people, a unique and historic setting - Durham is a university like no other.
As part of Durham University, you'll be working with exceptional minds, all with the desire to ask, and answer, the big questions. Access to leading edge facilities and an active contributor to the global research and university community means you'll be part of an international and diverse network of partners spanning the world's best research institutions, organisations and businesses. And all this within the evocative and historic surroundings of the city, county and community that is Durham.
Our aim is to become a truly inclusive and diverse community, with a workforce as diverse as the landscape within which we operate. Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in the University. We are committed to equality: if for any reason you have taken a career break or periods of leave that may have impacted on your career path, such as maternity, adoption or parental leave, you may wish to disclose this in your application. The selection committee will recognise that this may have reduced the quantity of your research accordingly.
Durham University's Athena Swan institutional award recognises and celebrates good practice in recruiting and supporting the development of women. We have also signed up to the Race Equality Charter, a national framework for improving the representation, progression and success of minority ethnic staff and students within higher education.
The Department
The Department of History at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the role of Assistant Professor of History in the period c.300-c.950 (CE). We welcome applications from candidates with expertise in Asian, Eurasian, Mediterranean, North African, Islamicate, Byzantine or European history, whose research complements or expands the department's current strengths. Applications from candidates whose research draws connections between multiple geographical regions and who share our commitment to decolonising the curriculum are especially encouraged.
Following recent expansion, Durham University History Department is now one of the largest centres in the UK for the study of History. We are consistently ranked amongst the top departments in the country by the Complete University Guide, the Times and Sunday Times, and the Guardian University Guide. We place research at the very heart of our varied undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, inducting our students into a community of historians from the outset. Our research expertise and teaching provision extend from the early Middle Ages to the present day, and we are home to scholars of Europe (including the British Isles), Africa, East Asia, South Asia and the United States of America and of social, cultural, political, economic, religious, environmental and gender history. We believe that this chronological range and breadth opens up possibilities of transnational, transhistorical and comparative work that tends to be the hallmark of ground-breaking research in our discipline. As a group of researchers, we are alive to the fact that historical questions constantly evolve, and we are committed to developing the intra-and inter-disciplinary breadth to respond to, initiate and shape the discipline and scholarship more broadly defined. This brings us together as historians and makes Durham an exciting place to work, research, and study.
Durham University has an outstanding reputation in the field of medieval studies, and the Department is closely involved in the interdisciplinary Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, which brings together colleagues from across the University. There are also strong links with the Centre for Visual Arts and Cultures, the Centre for Catholic Studies and the Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, and the Centre for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean and Near East as well as with the departments of Classics and Ancient History, Theology and Religion, English Studies and with the School of Modern Languages and Cultures (notably with Arabic, Spanish, Italian, French and German). Our postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers are also active in this interdisciplinary environment. We are currently home to three doctoral training centres: The AHRC Northern Bridge Partnership, the Leverhulme DTC for Visual Culture, and the ESRC NINE DTP.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make use of Durham's excellent and wide-ranging resources for the study of medieval history which include the manuscript collections at Durham Cathedral and the University (which form part of the Priory Library digitisation project), the Cathedral Priory Archive and the collections of the Oriental Museum.
This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution.

KU Research School “Dialogical Cultures – Critical Reflection Spaces for Cultural Studies and Social Sciences”
Call for Applications
One Senior and two Junior Research Fellowships (starting in May 2021)
About the Research School and its Fellowship Program
The KU Research School “Dialogical Cultures – Critical Reflection Spaces for Cultural Studies and Social Sciences,” established by the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt in January 2020, is committed to promoting interdisciplinary research in the fields of cultural studies and the social sciences. Supporting doctoral and postdoctoral studies as well as research projects conducted by experienced and well-established scholars, the KU Research School aims at facilitating and enhancing scholarly exchange and critical debate beyond disciplinary boundaries. All research projects conducted at the Research School bear upon the Research School’s overall interest in the critical study of the responsive modes of dialogue and “dialogicity” as a socio-cultural phenomenon, a dynamic practice, and transformative process under varying conflictual communicative preconditions and scenarios.
The main goal of the Research School’s fellowship program is to provide excellent scholars with the space and time needed for either finalizing research projects that are already well advanced (e.g. finishing a comprehensive monograph), or to support scholars with an innovative research idea or concept who are about to develop a third-party funding application for a competitive national, EU or international research funding program. KU Research School “Dialogical Cultures” not only offers a forum to enhance and connect excellent research across humanities disciplines, but also serves as a platform for the critical discussion, exploration, and contestation of current issues and contexts in cultural and social studies. Thus, “Dialogical Cultures” also fosters dialogue and contributes to knowledge transfer between the academia and the public at large.
General terms and conditions of the fellowship
For the summer term 2021, the KU Research School “Dialogical Cultures” offers three fellowships: one senior and two junior fellowships, which are partly financed by the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and partly by university funds.

Any qualified scholars in the field of social sciences, cultural studies, and the humanities are eligible for application without regard to nationality, gender, age, disciplinary background and institutional or departmental affiliation.
- The Junior Fellowships are designed to support post-doctoral scholars early in their careers. Any qualified scholars in the field of social sciences, cultural studies and the humanities are eligible to apply for the fellowship without regard to nationality, gender, age, disciplinary background and institutional or departmental affiliation. Junior fellows will also benefit from specific measures of talent scouting and career network development according to the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Duration and funding: The fellowships will be granted for a duration from one to four months, starting May 1st, 2021. Senior fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 5,000 EUR as a lump sum covering all costs (e.g. travel, accommodation, subsistence, child-care expenditures). Junior fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 3,500 EUR as a lump sum covering all costs (e.g. travel, accommodation, subsistence, child-care expenditures). In order to encourage international applications, additional financial support may be available for international, especially overseas travel. Retirement supplements or healthcare insurance contributions are not included and cannot be granted as a top-up. The Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt provides office space with standard ICT equipment as well as access to research infrastructure, facilities, and services.
Selection procedure and expectations: Fellow candidates will be selected by the Research School’s general assembly as well as the external academic Advisory Board. As a fellow, you will be fully associated with the Research School and benefit from its support infrastructure as well as available additional subsidies. Fellows are expected to participate in the Research School’s activities (e.g. brownbag meetings, colloquia), to attend or co-organize scholarly events, and to actively contribute to our joint scholarly debate (e.g. by a public lecture). The fellows are hosted by at least one member of the Research School (tandem hosting arrangements preferred). It is expected that at least one encompassing publication (preferably in a peer-reviewed journal) and/or a third-party funding application will result from your research residency at Eichstätt.
