Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS)
The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) offers residential postdoctoral fellowships in Hellenic Studies for the 2025-26 academic year. Fellows are appointed for a term of up to sixteen weeks in the fall (August 27, 2025 to December 17, 2025) or the spring (January 28, 2026 to May 20, 2026). Applicants should indicate their preference for fall or spring on the application form. During this time, recipients are expected to be in residence at the CHS and to devote full time to their study projects without undertaking any other major activities.
Fellowships include a stipend, housing at the CHS, and subsidized health insurance. The stipend (maximum $25,000) is adjusted for individual circumstances, such as the amount of support from other sources. Additional support (up to $1,500) is available for professional travel and other research expenses. The CHS will also assist with the fellow's travel expenses to and from Washington. All fellows, regardless of the term of their fellowship, receive an appointment for one year, beginning in July, which provides them with full access to the resources of the Harvard library system.
The purpose of the residential fellowship program is to encourage and support scholarship of the highest quality on topics related to ancient Greek civilization (e.g., archaeology, art history, epigraphy, history, literary criticism, philology, philosophy, pedagogical applications, reception, and interdisciplinary studies). The program aims to foster interaction among researchers from diverse backgrounds and regions of the world. Accordingly, the CHS welcomes projects with a traditional basis in Classics and those that adopt collaborative or interdisciplinary approaches to the field of Hellenic studies drawn from fields across the humanities, social sciences, and/or natural sciences.
In addition to supporting scholars working independently, the CHS also welcomes applications from individuals engaged in collaborative research projects (such as co-written or co-edited volumes, digital databases, or software tools). Each member of a collaboration should apply individually for a fellowship and describe the nature of the collaboration on the application form.
Eligibility
The prerequisite for a fellowship is a PhD degree in Classics or a related field. Applicants must have defended their degree before July 1, 2024.
Applicants may not apply to both the Fellowships in Hellenic Studies Program in Washington, DC and to the Early Career Fellowships in Hellenic Studies Program in Greece and Cyprus during the same application cycle.
The CHS is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for appointment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions, or any other characteristic protected by law.
The CHS views equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging as the pathway to achieving inclusive excellence and fostering a campus culture where everyone can thrive. We strive to create a community that draws upon the widest possible pool of talent to unify excellence and diversity while fully embracing individuals from varied backgrounds, cultures, races, identities, life experiences, perspectives, beliefs, and values.
Dissemination of Research and Acknowledgement of Support
Fellows are encouraged to document the evolution of their projects and share their work in progress. All fellows are asked to submit a profile for publication on the CHS website and complete a survey at the end of their appointment. Beyond that, fellows are welcome to contribute one piece of content for publication in the CHS Research Bulletin<https://research-bulletin.chs.harvard.edu/>.
The CHS asks fellows to acknowledge the support of the Center in publications or presentations resulting from their work during the fellowship.
Criteria Used in the Awarding of Fellowships
The CHS will only fund proposals that:
1. Outline clearly and in detail a research project that contributes to scholarship in Classical studies or the humanities in general;
2. Demonstrate the capability of the researcher(s) to carry out the project: for example, through prior publications and letters of support;
3. Explain the importance of a CHS fellowship to the progress of the project.
Application Information
The deadline for submitting applications is Saturday, November 16, 2024 at midnight (Eastern). Recommendation letters are due no later than Saturday, November 23, 2024.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Tagung am 20. und 21. März 2025 am Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) in Mainz in Kooperation mit der AG Theorien in der Archäologie (TidA), dem Exzellenzcluster ROOTS und dem Marburger Centrum für Antike Welt (MCAW)
(English version above)
Sind die Dinge noch so, wie wir denken? Die Archäologie und verwandte Wissenschaften beschäftigen sich maßgeblich mit materieller Kultur, doch haben die Dinge neuerdings ein „Eigenleben“ gewonnen. Perspektiven aus der Forschung des Neuen Materialismus haben das humanistische Wissenschaftsverständnis auf den Kopf gestellt. Dinge sind mehr als nur von und für Menschen gefertigte Objekte, sondern Dingversammlungen, Assemblagen und materielle Formen des Zusammenlebens. In unserer Tagung gehen wir über ein Verständnis von Dinge als Bedeutungsträger, Symbole oder Medien hinaus und wollen neue Perspektiven in die wissenschaftliche Diskussion einbringen.
Ausgehend von den philosophischen Arbeiten von Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari und anderen gibt es verschiedene Ansätze zu einer posthumanistischen Bewertung von Dingen, die ein ganzes Spektrum neuer Perspektiven einbringen: von relationalen Verflechtungen, über multiple Ontologien bis hin zu Vorstellungen von vibrant matter. Der in diesem Zusammenhang ausgerufene Ontological Turn, der auf die potentiell sehr unterschiedlichen Weltanschauungen und Realitäten fokussiert, rückt die veränderte Rolle von Menschen, anderen Lebewesen, Dingen und Konzepten in den letzten Jahren in den Blick archäologischer Theoriebildung.
Die theoretischen Positionen des Neuen Materialismus haben u. E. gemeinsam, dass sie die Dinge auf andere Weise betrachten und ernstnehmen: 1) Dinge waren und sind aktiv an sozialen Prozessen beteiligt und keine passiven Objekte; 2) Dinge sind mehr als Materie und ihre Bedeutung; sie sind transformierende, lebhafte, eigensinnige Kräfte, deren Potentiale oft unverfügbar bleiben können; 3) Materie bildet keine stabilen und statischen Entitäten sondern befindet sich im ständigen Fluss. Diese drei Aspekte verweisen auf die Notwendigkeit, bestehende Vorstellungen dualistischer und dichotomischer Trennungen wie Natur/Kultur, Körper/Geist, materiell/sozial oder lebendig/tot theoretisch zu überarbeiten.
Für ein relationales und dynamisches Verständnis materieller Welten werden daher auch neue Konzepte benötigt, wie Kollektive, soziale Gefüge, Assemblagen/agencements, Netzwerke und Material Flows. Diese legen den Fokus auf die Veränderungen, Beziehungen und Emergenzen, anstatt auf essentialistische Eigenschaften und autonome Entitäten.
In der Archäologie konzentrieren sich diese Ansätze in der Regel auf die Ontologien vergangener Gesellschaften und die Art und Weise, wie sie ihre Welt(en) betrachteten und lebten. Dazu werden oft Querverbindungen zu verwandten theoretischen Ansätzen gezogen. Das betrifft z. B. den Neuen Animismus, Feministischen Materialismus, Neuen Vitalismus, Multispecies-Ansätze, Theorien der Inter- und Transkorporalität, oder Assemblage-Theorien. Mithilfe solcher Ansätze wird untersucht, wie Dinge in archäologisch untersuchbaren Zusammenhängen materialisiert, transformiert, platziert, behandelt, eingebettet oder bewahrt wurden.
Mit unserer Tagung wollen wir genau solche archäologischen Anknüpfungen thematisieren und die Dinge einmal anders betrachten:
- Wie lässt sich unter der Forschungsperspektive des Neuen Materialismus das Zusammenleben von Menschen, Tieren und Dingen in der Vergangenheit neu verstehen?
- Welche Auswirkungen hat der Neue Materialismus auf archäologisches Arbeiten wie Ausgraben und Kategorisieren, Restaurieren und Konservieren, Interpretieren und Quantifizieren, Konzeptualisieren und Theoretisieren sowie Ausstellen und Vermitteln?
- Welche neuen Herausforderungen und Zugangsweisen, Fragestellungen und Perspektiven ergeben sich aus der Perspektive des Neuen Materialismus?
- Wie stellt sich Archäologie jenseits von Dualismen in einer relationalen Denkweise dar?
Wir akzeptieren Beiträge für die zweitägige Tagung, die sich z. B. mit folgenden Aspekten in Bezug zum Neuen Materialismus auseinandersetzen: posthumanistische Narrative, Assemblagen, archäologische Kategorien, Körperverflechtungen, Architektur, Kunst. Zugleich sind auch Beiträge zum Einfluss des Neuen Materialismus auf archäologische Aufzeichnungen, Ausgrabungen, Kontexte und Merkmalsbildungen willkommen.
Vorschläge für Vorträge oder Poster können mit einer maximalen Anzahl von 200 Wörtern bis zum 15.12.2024 an

LOOKING AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY –
NEW MATERIALIST APPROACHES IN ARCHAEOLOGYConference on 20th and 21st March 2025 at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA) in Mainz in cooperation with the AG Theorien in der Archäologie (TidA), the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS, and the Marburg Center of the Ancient World (MCAW)
Are things still as we imagine them? The different archaeological disciplines and related fields of study are largely concerned with material culture, but things have recently gained a life of their own. The insights provided by New Materialist approaches have turned the humanistic concept of science and the humanities upside down. ‘Things’ are now more than objects made only for and/or by humans, but are rather a gathering of things, assemblages and material forms of living together. Therefore, they are more than meaningful objects, symbols or media as they are examined by Material Culture Studies.
Proceeding from the philosophical works of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and others, there are several approaches to a post-humanist assessment of things that add a whole spectrum of new perspectives: that of relational entanglements, other ontologies, and notions of vibrant matter. These are summarised under the term the ‘Ontological Turn’, which emphasises potentially very different cosmologies and realities, and places the changed roles of humans, other beings, things and concepts in the focus of archaeological theoretical discourses.
In our view, the theoretical positions of the New Materialism share in common a different and more serious ways of looking at things: 1) Things were and are active in social processes and not mere passive objects; 2) Things are more than matter and its meaning; they are transforming, vibrant, obstinate forces whose potential can remain inactive; 3) Matter is not a stable and static entity but is constantly changing and in flow. These three aspects point towards the necessity of revising existing concepts of dualisms and dichotomies such as nature/culture, body/mind, matter/social or alive/dead.
For a relational and dynamic understanding of material worlds, new concepts are needed to describe collectives, social structures, assemblages and agencements, networks and material flows. These emphasise changes, relations and emergent enactments instead of essentialist characteristics and autonomous entities.
In archaeology, these approaches usually concentrate on ontologies of past societies and the way they viewed and lived in their world(s). To do so, cross-connections are drawn to related theoretical approaches such as New Animism, Feminist Materialism; New Vitalism, multispecies approaches, theories of inter- and trans-corporeality or assemblage theories which analyse how materials emerged, transformed, and were placed, treated, embedded, or preserved in archaeological contexts.
We would like to continue these archaeological approaches with our conference and to “look at things differently”:
- How can we re-interpret forms of living together in the past through the research perspectives of New Materialism?
- What impact does New Materialism have on archaeological work such as excavations and categorisations, restorations and conservations, interpretation and quantification, conceptualisation and theorization, as well as on exhibition and conveyance?
- Which new challenges and approaches, questions and perspectives are developing from the perspective of New Materialism?
- How is archaeology presented beyond dualisms in a relational mindset?
We invite contributions for the two-day conference that are related to New Materialism, especially but not limited to topics that concentrate on post-humanist narratives, assemblages, archaeological categories, entangled bodies, architecture, art or influences of New Materialism on archaeological records, excavations, contexts and features.
Please send your paper proposals or poster ideas with a maximum of 200 words to

für NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen der Klassischen Archäologie
Der Unternehmer und Kunstmäzen Dr. Ernst von Sieglin (1848-1927) finanzierte zwischen 1898 und 1902 mehrere Expeditionen nach Alexandria sowie Grabungen in Kos, erwarb zahlreiche ägyptische, griechische und römische Exponate für die Tübinger Universitätssammlung und förderte durch großzügige Stipendien deren wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung. An diese Tradition wollten die Nachfahren anknüpfen und stifteten 2018 erstmals den international ausgeschriebenen Ernst von Sieglin Forschungspreis für NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen der Klassischen Archäologie.
Gefördert wird damit jährlich der Druck einer qualitativ hochwertigen Monographie aus einem zentralen Bereich der Klassischen Archäologie in der Schriftenreihe „Tübinger Archäologische Forschungen“ in Höhe von bis zu 5.000 Euro.
Die Arbeit sollte in einem gewissen Zusammenhang mit den Interessensgebieten von Ernst von Sieglin und den von ihm geförderten Projekten stehen. Diese beschränkten sich jedoch nicht nur auf Ausgrabungen in Alexandria oder Kos, sondern erstreckten sich generell auf die materielle Kultur des Mittelmeerraumes.
Bewerbungen sollten ein kurzes Anschreiben sowie das zum Druck vorgeschlagene Manuskript beinhalten und sind in elektronischer Form bis zum 30.11.2024 an das Sekretariat des Archäologischen Instituts der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen zu senden (

Appel à contribution « Les frontières du sacré » de la revue Frontière·s, revue d'archéologie, histoire
et histoire de l'art
Les historiens de l’art et les archéologues qui travaillent sur les édifices de culte s’intéressent à des formes et des techniques architecturales, à des décors, peints et/ou sculptés, mais ils tentent aussi de restituer les rituels et les circulations qui s’y déroulèrent.
L’édifice et sa périphérie constituent un espace sacré, délimité par une frontière, matérielle ou symbolique, qui marque la séparation avec l’espace profane. Ce territoire qui appartient à la divinité est soumis à un ensemble de règles et d’usages qui régissent la pratique rituelle, qui est elle-même étroitement liée à l’espace : gestes, sacrifices, prières, cheminements prennent place en des emplacements définis, dont l’architecture et le décor précisent souvent l’identification et la fonction. Les seuils, qui matérialisent le passage d’un espace à un autre, sont aussi la traduction architecturale des frontières qui interviennent dans le rituel. Ils marquent l’accessibilité à un espace ou, au contraire,
l’interdiction ou la restriction à certains groupes de la société ou au personnel religieux pour les espaces les plus sacrés. Ils matérialisent différentes gradations de sacralité, appelant certains gestes, certaines prières ; leurs abords peuvent faire l’objet de dispositifs architecturaux et de décors spécifiques (reliefs, sculpture architecturale, statues).
L’enjeu pour les chercheurs qui étudient les sociétés antiques et médiévales, leurs croyances, leurs cultes et leurs pratiques rituelles, est de restituer une spatialité fonctionnelle et symbolique en analysant les structures architecturales, les décors, le mobilier, les textes (littéraires et épigraphiques), les sources normatives et les sources de la pratique. Le travail de recherche peut se heurter à plusieurs difficultés méthodologiques, qu’il s’agisse du caractère lacunaire des vestiges conservés, de la stratification des utilisations sur le temps long, de la correspondance complexe entre le vocabulaire utilisé par les auteurs anciens et les objets et espaces observés, du manque de textes ou, au contraire, de la disparition de certains édifices, connus uniquement par des sources écrites.
Pour ce numéro de la revue Frontière·s, consacré aux frontières du sacré de l’Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Âge, différentes thématiques pourront être abordées, à partir d’études de cas ou de synthèses sur un corpus, ici listées de manière non exhaustive :
- l’établissement de normes sur l’accès des différents espaces des édifices de culte ;
- l’interprétation parfois complexe de la terminologie employée dans les sources écrites pour distinguer différents espaces ;
- l’approche croisée de vestiges conservés et de sources textuelles;
- la restitution de structures de séparation plus au moins autonomes par rapport au gros œuvre (portes, tentures, chancels, jubés, grilles, clôture…), qui peuvent connaître des variations liées à la nature du culte, au calendrier religieux, mais aussi à l’évolution sur le temps long des pratiques liturgiques;
- l’aménagement des seuils et des passages (sculpture, décoration architecturale, inscriptions topiques);
- la restitution des perceptions sensorielles des cérémonies au sein d’un espace donné ;
- la périodisation de l’histoire d’un édifice au regard de l’évolution de l’organisation spatiale du sacré.
Date limite de candidature : 31 mai 2025

University of Cambridge - Gonville & Caius
Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
Gonville & Caius College intends to elect two Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in 2025. Candidates should be postgraduate 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 2025. 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) £27,003, rising by three annual increments to £30,039 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) £30,327 rising by 3 annual increments to £33,364 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 Monday 2 September 2024 and must be completed by Monday 30 September 2024. Shortlisting will take place on Monday 13 January 2025. Those selected will be invited for interview on Friday 17 January 2025, so candidates should ensure that they will be available for interview on that day, if required. Offers will be made on Monday 20 January and must be accepted by 4.00 pm on Wednesday 22 January 2025 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.
Please note that the College also intends to elect two Research Fellows in Sciences in 2025; details regarding this are also on the College website. -

DARWIN COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE
Stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellowship
Darwin College invites applications for election to a stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellowship in Ancient History starting from 1 October 2025.
The Fellowship is restricted to research into the ancient history of the Mediterranean world and/or the near East, prior to the end of the 6th century AD. Darwin College is able to elect this stipendiary Research Fellow thanks to a bequest in the Will of Sir Moses and Lady Finley. In addition, Sir Moses bequeathed his personal library to the College. This may assist the research of the successful candidate. Preference will be given to those whose interests coincide with those of the late Sir Moses Finley.
Eligibility
The Fellowship is open to candidates from any university, irrespective of age.
The Fellowship is intended for an outstanding researcher who is completing, or who has recently completed, their PhD Degree, or an equivalently recognised degree. No candidate should normally have completed in total more than three years of research since the PhD is conferred by 1 October 2025. Any career breaks or part-time working will be taken into account.
Duties and conditions
The Research Fellow is expected to pursue full-time research based in Cambridge.
The Research Fellow will be a member of the Governing Body of Darwin College and will be subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the College. The Statutes include the obligation to reside in or near Cambridge, for at least two-thirds of each University term, but the Governing Body will normally excuse absences made necessary by the nature of the research undertaken.
Tenure
The Research Fellowship is tenable for three years, with effect from 1 October 2025 and is renewable for one further year to a maximum of four years at the discretion of the Fellowships Committee.
