Magdalen College Oxford
The College proposes to elect up to four Fellows by Examination (elsewhere known as Junior Research Fellows (JRFs)) in 2024. The successful candidates will already have demonstrated outstanding promise in their research.
Each Fellowship is tenable for three years at a stipend currently starting at £26,131 per annum, subject to an annual cost of living award. In addition, partnered accommodation will be provided in College free of charge (tax liabilities will apply) or, alternatively, a taxable housing allowance currently set at £16,560 per annum. During the first two years of appointment, the Fellow is a member of the Governing Body of the College and for all three years of appointment is entitled to free lunches and dinners in College and a research allowance. Fellows by Examination are expected to live in the Oxford area, and their research base must be in Oxford. Fellows by Examination can benefit from flexible working conditions.
Applications are encouraged from candidates from all countries and all universities. Applications are particularly welcome from women and from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. Applications for this year's competition will be considered in all academic subjects except the following: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Classics, History (including Medieval History 370AD - 1400AD, History, Early Modern 1400AD - 1800AD and History, Modern, post 1800AD), Linguistics & Philology, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and Music.
The main duty of a Fellow by Examination (JRF) is to engage full-time in research and its dissemination. The successful candidate will be expected to propose, plan and manage a high quality programme of original research; publicise the outcomes of that research through presentation of papers and publications; and engage in the life and activities of the College. The Fellow may, with the leave of the Governing Body, engage in teaching and, if teaching, would normally be expected to give priority to the College's own teaching needs,
Skills and experience required: research experience at doctoral level in an academic subject. Candidates should be able to manage their own independent research and should have excellent communication skills

Two Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social SciencesSep 02Samstag, 02. September 2023 10:51
Gonville & Caius College intends to elect two Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in 2024. Candidates should be graduate students or post-doctoral researchers who will either be in their final year of doctoral research or not more advanced than one year since the first submission of their PhD. Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals with an exceptionally strong academic record who have produced innovative doctoral research in any branch of the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
The Fellowships will be tenable for four years from 1 October 2024. Research Fellows have the full entitlement of Fellows; they are expected to spend the tenure of their Fellowship in Cambridge and to contribute to the life of the College. Permission may be granted for periods of research away from Cambridge.
A Research Fellowship at Caius is compatible with a simultaneous appointment to a salaried post-doctoral position in a Cambridge Department or Faculty. Such a person appointed to a Research Fellowship would be entitled to all the benefits of a Research Fellow other than stipend. If the post-doctoral position comes to an end before the end of the four-year Fellowship, the College's usual stipend will apply for the remainder of the time.
The current stipend offered is either (a) £25,964, rising by three annual increments to £28,884 if living in College accommodation as a single person, which is free, or in College couples' or family accommodation, if available, which is subsidised, or (b) £29,161 rising by 3 annual increments to £32,081 if not living in College accommodation. All stipends are subject to an annual cost of living review each October. Other benefits include 10 free meals per week and certain research expenses may be reimbursed. There are also opportunities for College teaching (up to six hours per week), which attracts extra payment.
Candidates must submit written work for assessment amounting to a minimum of 20,000 words at the same time as their application. Apart from quotations, the work must be in English. If a complete PhD and/or published work is submitted, the applicant should indicate which parts are the most important. A maximum of 30,000 words will be assessed.
Applications open on Friday 1 September 2023 and must be completed by Monday 2 October 2023. Shortlisting will take place on Monday 8 January 2024. Those selected will be invited for interview on Friday 12 January 2024, so candidates should ensure that they will be available for interview on that day, if required. Offers will be made shortly after the interviews and must be accepted by 4.00 pm on Wednesday 17 January 2024 at the latest.
The College is an equal opportunities employer and actively supports equality, diversity, and inclusion, and encourages applications from all sections of society. Elections to Research Fellowships are made purely on the basis of intellectual and academic attainment and promise.
There are 31 Colleges within the University of Cambridge. Each is an independent institution and elects its own Fellows.

Postdoc fellowship Roman comedyAug 22Dienstag, 22. August 2023 09:55
Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland)
Łukasz Berger has kindly asked for this information to be circulated:
We will be offering a two-year postdoc fellowship for a specialist in the metres of Roman comedy. The job is part of the research project "Conversation Analysis in Roman Comedy: Pragmatics, Prosody, and Performance" (2021/43/D/HS2/03113, Polish National Science Centre),
Workplace location: Collegium Maius, ul. Fredry 10, 61-701 Poznań (Poland)
Anticipated job starting date: 01.10.2023 or as soon as practicable thereafter
Monthly salary: approx. 7.700 PLN per month (gross)
Deadline for application: 15.09.2023
Job offer description:
The post-doctoral fellowship includes work on the preparation of an online database of Plautus' and Terence's comedies. The researcher will - under supervision and in collaboration with the principal investigator - annotate the corpus of Roman theatrical speech with a particular focus on metrical and prosodic phenomena. The post-doc fellow will also conduct their own research based on the tools and the methodology developed within the project. During the two years of the fellowship, we expect active dissemination of research results (conferences, publications in renowned journals).
Required research, teaching or mixed experience
* PhD in Classical Philology (in Literary Studies or Linguistics)*;
* a high level of knowledge of Latin meter and measures used in Roman comedy, also confirmed by some high-quality publications (e.g., in international journals, edited volumes).
* high communicative competence in academic and international contexts;
* excellent command of the English language (including in writing);
* self-reliance, good organization of work, ability to work in a team;
* experience in writing scientific publications and preparing conference presentations.
* good computer skills.
About the project:
The texts of Roman comedies by Plautus and Terence (roughly 250-159 BC) are invaluable testimonies for two different social practices: (i) they are play-scripts created by a vibrant theatrical tradition in ancient Rome, while (ii) containing a unique representation of everyday communication in early Latin. This project uses Conversation Analysis - a method of examining talk-in-interaction - to identify the intersections of these two co-existing dimensions. Our premise here is that a conversation-analytic inquiry can help us not only to identify the aspects of the comedy dialogue that mimic real-life conversations in Latin, but it can also give us insights into how the script was designed to be easily managed on stage, e.g. how the performers were able to coordinate and organize their actions during the show. We want to shed new light on some understudied aspects of the Republican-time stagecraft, by offering a first integrated approach to Pragmatics, Prosody, and performance. Arguably, this type of research can provide us with strong insights about the organization of the theatrical talk, identifying the tensions between the naturalistic representation of conversations and the artistically shaped dramatic discourse.
Required documents
* Cover letter;
* Curriculum Vitae;
* Information on the Applicant's research (list of most relevant publications, participation in research projects, fellowships, awards)

"Languages and Cultures of the Silk Road"Aug 21Montag, 21. August 2023 20:37
Advertisement of 2 Scholarships for Doctoral Studies (October 2024 - September 2028) in the Doctoral Program: "Languages and Cultures of the Silk Road"
The Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is offering two doctoral scholarships to carry out a doctorate within the framework of "Languages and Cultures of the Silk Road" program.
Applicants must have an outstanding Master's degree (MA, MSt or MSc) in the subject Iranian studies, Near Eastern Archaeology, Prehistoric Archaeology, or East Asian Art and Archaeology, or be close to graduation. Doctoral researchers are expected to participate in Digital Humanities training offered as part of BerGSAS curriculum.
The doctoral program Languages and Cultures of the Silk Road<https://www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org/bergsas/programme/silk-road/index.html> covers Asia since prehistoric times and Central Asia. It concentrates mainly on the range of attested languages and literatures of Buddhist, Manichaean, Zoroastrian, and Christian communities. The Turfan Collection in Berlin provides a unique opportunity to study original materials. A wealth of recently excavated archaeological sites and find materials in Central and Eastern Asia allow new approaches to a number of old questions concerning the complex cultural history along the Silk Roads. Applicants are free to choose their topic, and it is important to remember that artifacts and texts that have already been published often have a lot more to reveal than has already been discovered. The following is an indication of the kind of topics possible and is not intended to exhaust or limit the possibilities.
PhD proposals in the field of Iranian studies: The focus is of Iranian languages and literatures until Late Antiquity and about the main religious streams current in the Iranian area, including Zoroastrianism, its origins, evolution and spread in Central Asia. Welcome are linguistic topics, e.g., studies of the verbal system and a detailed analysis of its use in Middle Persian or Parthian texts, the transition between Middle Persian and New Persian, Studies of the Sogdian Buddhist and Christian text tradition, problems of dialectological variation relating to religious communities, scribal conventions. Also welcome are studies on Avestan linguistics. Literary studies could be e.g., the composition of Manichaean Parthian hymn-cycles or the analysis of the constitution of the Middle Persian Zoroastrian literature and its relationship to the Manichaean one, etc. The composition of the Avestan corpus in Central Asia or Eastern Iran and the reasons and processes leading to its spreading in Western Iran are also of central interest. Religious subjects, especially concerning the multifarious relationships between the Manichaean and the Zoroastrian doctrines and with other communities would provide many interesting research topics as do also other problems of Zoroastrianism and its relationship to other Iranian religions (like the Bactrian religious system). Pre-knowledge of the textual body to be studied and a good working knowledge of relevant research languages are indispensable.
PhD proposals in the field of archaeology and art history: Technical and statistical analyses of excavated finds, detailed in-depth studies of particular object groups or materials, archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological studies related to environmental and climate change and societal transformations are welcome. In processing the source material, a holistic view of the entire living environment from which the material originates and an understanding of a broad transregional interconnectedness of phenomena is expected. We encourage discussions on current issues of the interdependence of archaeology, art, cultural history and colonial history, decolonization, indigenous concerns and viewpoints, restitution.
