The Classical World in Context: Religious Experience in Antiquity
A multitude of religions flourished in the Mediterranean and beyond from the second millennium BCE through the Late Roman era. Addressing the diversity of faiths and rituals, scholars will consider the consequences of contact between the Greek and Roman worlds and neighboring civilizations of the Near East, Africa, and transalpine Europe. The intersection of religions entailed continuity and coexistence as well as intolerance and conflict. Conquest, commerce, migration, and the foundation of “international” sanctuaries facilitated new forms of worship. These interactions, which both reflected and shaped religious experience, were widely manifested in art and material culture. Engaging systems of belief that range from state-sponsored religion and local cults to private devotion, researchers will investigate how communities reconciled the spiritually charged and socially fluid landscapes around them.
The Getty Scholars Program at the Villa focuses on the Classical World in Context, a multi-year initiative to explore the interconnectivity between the ancient Mediterranean region and the cultures of Africa and Eurasia. Priority will be given to research projects that apply interdisciplinary, comparative, transregional, and diachronic approaches to art, material culture, literature, and other sources for the study of antiquity.
Applications for 2025–2026 year grants opened on August 1, 2024. The deadline to apply is October 1, 2024 by 5:00 p.m. (PDT).
Applications are welcome from researchers of all nationalities who are working in the arts, humanities, or social sciences.
Applicants who received their degree after September 1, 2021 should apply for a postdoctoral fellowship. Postdoctoral fellowships will not be offered at the Getty Villa in 2025-26, but may be offered for other themes at the Getty Research Institute.
Current Getty staff and members of their immediate family are not eligible for Scholar Grants. Recent recipients who have received a Getty Scholar award within the past six years may be removed from consideration.

King’s College Cambrdige
Stipendiary Research Fellowship on the topic of Rhythm
King’s College Cambridge invites applications for a Research Fellowship from those working on the topic of Rhythm.
Applications are welcome from all those working on this topic within any area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and who wish to undertake a major project over the course of the four years of this Fellowship. The brief is deliberately wide to encompass innovative thinking about the topic which has distinctive conceptualisations in different research traditions. Creative thinking is encouraged and applicants should not unduly restrict themselves to any single academic discipline nor necessarily focus on a traditionally identified paradigm. The electors to this fellowship are keen to not only encourage applications from fields which the study of rhythm is usually identified, for example music, literature and speech, but also from those who wish to pursue the topic in other domains including for example the rhythm of architecture, art, the economy and life amonst many others.
The ideal candidate for this Research Fellowship will have a strong background in a relevant area of work and be completing or have completed recently an outstanding doctoral thesis. It is not a requirement that the candidate’s doctoral studies or the work that they submit in support of their application should have concerned this topic specifically, but candidates will be expected to show in their applications how their plans for their future work relate to the work that they have already done. The successful candidate will be expected to engage broadly with the whole college community.
It is the aim of King’s Research Fellowships to develop important fields of study that are currently too narrowly restricted in their practitioners and/or their objects of analysis. For this reason, candidates are encouraged to propose creative and innovative projects which will not only make an important contribution to the specific area of interest, but also strengthen the intellectual framework of the humanities as a whole.
The successful candidate will join a lively research community which includes Research Fellows and College Research Associates as well as Fellows who hold University posts. This includes a number of Fellows working in Anthropology, Linguistics, Literature, Music and Psychology which will potentially align with the successful candidate’s project, and a wide range of other subjects which will provide both challenge to and stimulus for novel ways of approaching it. Research Fellows also engage with colleagues from the Collegiate University as a whole in the pursuit of their project.
A Research Fellowship is a postdoctoral position tenable for up to four years. Applications are welcome from graduates of any university. Candidates will usually have completed their PhD or equivalent qualification, but must not have undertaken more than 2 years postdoctoral work or work outside of academia by 1 October 2025 (i.e., an applicants PhD cannot have been granted before 30 September 2023).
Research Fellows are members of the Governing Body, with the full privileges of all Fellows. These include all meals, a degree of financial support for expenses associated with research, and the possibility of an office and accommodation in College properties. Currently, the stipend of a Research Fellow is £24,126 prior to the award of doctorate, or £26,807 after award of doctorate, rising each year to a maximum of £30,912. An accommodation allowance of £3,530 is paid to all Stipendiary Research Fellows, and an additional living-out allowance of up to £4,000, depending on income, is available to those Fellows not living in college-owned accommodation.
In addition to pursuing research, a Research Fellow is required to live in Cambridge or close by and to participate in College life and activity. Although these are research posts, Research Fellows are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to undertake a small amount of University or College teaching, or tutorial duties. Such activity is remunerated separately and can make an important contribution to the development of an academic career. During the course of the Fellowship, a Research Fellow may be granted an intermission for one or two years to take up a temporary position either in Cambridge or elsewhere provided that doing so would be consistent with the Research Fellow’s career development.
The closing date for applications, including references, is 9 a.m. on Monday 16 September 2024. Further information about the College may be obtained from the College website<https://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/>.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Stellenbosch and Western Cape
Applications are awaited for a postdoctoral fellowship hosted by the Universities of Stellenbosch and the Western Cape.
Project Title: Responsive Governance and Population Well-being in Late Antiquity
Project Description: Scholarship on Late Antiquity has established that the later Roman Empire employed response mechanisms for more effective and directive governance. How such governance relates to the common good and population well-being is less researched and more difficult to describe. The current collaborative project (Ghent University, Stellenbosch University, University of the Western Cape) aims at investigating the reciprocal relationship between imperial structures and the general populace of the empire. The topic is studied from a top-down perspective (laws, speeches, treatises issued from the top of the social hierarchy) as well as a bottom-up perspective which was communicated to those in executive capacities able to improve the quality of life of lower social strata (petitions, acclamations, the 'common good' implied in ideologies of the ideal state and good rulership, economic and social advances, philosophical notions on happiness, medical ideas of good health, environmental impacts) .
Hosts: Prof. Philip Bosman (Stellenbosch University and Prof. Ernst Conradie (University of the Western Cape)
Requirements:
* Ph.D. in Late Antique (Roman Imperial) History and Literature, or a related subject field in Classics (graduation within the last five years).
* Evidence of the ability to publish in national and international journals.
The post-doctoral fellowship package includes: A monthly stipend and workspace.
Commencement date: 1 January 2025
Closing date: 31 August 2024
Enquiries:Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein. <Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein. >
Application: Send a letter of application, accompanied by an academic record and a comprehensive curriculum vitae including a list of publications, and the names and contact details of at least two referees, toDiese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!

Applicants should request their referees to forward confidential reports by the closing date directly to the same address.
Further notes:
* The fellowship is renewable for a second year subject to satisfactory performance.
* The successful candidate will be required to stay in the greater Cape Town area for at least 9 months per annum.
* The postdoctoral fellow will be required to do research and publish research results related to the research project as formulated for the South African side of the project. Further research related tasks include conference organisation and coordination and editing of an edited volume on the research topic.
* The postdoctoral fellow will be affiliated to both the University of Stellenbosch and the University of the Western Cape.
* The Postdoctoral Office at Stellenbosch University assists postdoctoral fellows with logistical arrangements, including support for visa applications, temporary accommodation at Stellenbosch University, airport transport upon arrival, and registration on the University system.
* Postdoctoral fellows are not appointed as employees and as their fellowships are awarded tax-free, they are not eligible for employee benefits.
* The University reserves the right NOT to make an appointment if suitable candidates do not apply. -

Advertisement of 2 Scholarships for Doctoral Studies (October 2025 - September 2029) in the Doctoral
Program “Ancient Objects and Visual Studies”
The Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is offering two (2) doctoral scholarships to earn a PhD within the framework of “Ancient Objects and Visual
Studies” doctoral program of the BerGSAS, https://www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org/en/bergsas/index.html
We welcome applications from highly qualified graduates from the fields of:
Ancient Oriental Studies, Classical Archaeology, Egyptology and Northeast African Archaeology, Near Eastern
Archaeology, or Prehistoric Archaeology.
Applicants must hold an outstanding master's degree (MA, MSt, or MSc) or equivalent in one of the
aforementioned disciplines or be very close to completion.
Objectives of the doctoral program “Ancient Objects and Visual Studies”
The doctoral program, https://www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org/bergsas/programme/aovis/index.html
is concerned, among other things, with the effects of images and the mechanisms that make up
communication with images. Key questions are: Who produces images and for whom? What message do
these images convey? What are the elements of meaning (image ciphers) that make up the semantic field
of images? To what extent can images be (or not) precisely determined in their semantic content? Such
questions need to be explored by looking at the archaeological or historical object or artifact in its
respective cultural context. Starting from the individual object, the general cultural influences on the
perception of images should be worked out. Furthermore, the knowledge of the respective functioning of
ancient images and artifacts should be combined with the contemporary possibilities of visual
presentation. International perspectives are highly welcome here, especially those that question both the
European-influenced role of images and the role of the museums.
