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. -

https://www.getty.edu/projects/villa-scholars-program/
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.

Volker Michael Strocka (26.2.1940 – 14.8.2024)
Mit Volker Michael Strocka ist einer der Großen der deutschen Klassischen Archäologie von uns gegangen.
Nach dem Abitur in seiner Geburtsstadt Frankfurt am Main studierte Strocka in München, Basel, Paris und Freiburg. Seine Dissertation bei Walter-Herwig Schuchhardt (1900–1976), wohl einem der besten Kenner griechischer Plastik, galt dem Thema Piräusreliefs und Parthenosschild.
Seine darauf folgende Assistenten-Zeit (1965–1974) verbrachte Strocka am Institut für Klassische Archäologie der damals neu gegründeten Ruhr-Universität Bochum bei Bernard Andreae. Und hier begann er mit dem, was ihn sein Leben lang beschäftigen sollte: der wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung römischer Gebäudekomplexe im Mittelmeerraum. Seine erste Station war Ephesos. Hier beteiligte er sich am Wiederaufbau der Celsus-Bibliothek und widmete sich der Wandmalerei in den Hanghäusern, die auch Gegenstand seiner Habilitation wurde (1973).
Ein kurzes, heute fast vergessenes Intermezzo gab Strocka als Dozent an der Universität Göttingen, bevor er 1975 als Erster Direktor des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts nach Berlin berufen wurde. Die Anfänge des zwanzig Jahre währenden Projektes Häuser in Pompeji datieren in diese Zeit.
Von 1981 bis zu seiner Pensionierung im Jahr 2005 leitete Strocka das Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Universität Freiburg, ein knappes Vierteljahrhundert. Damit unterschritt er seinen Lehrer Schuchhardt nur um wenige Jahre.
Die Forschungen zu den Häusern in Pompeji gingen weiter und gipfelten in der Publikation zwölf großformatiger Bände, die zwischen 1984 und 2004 erschienen. Viele damals angehende Kolleginnen und Kollegen bekamen Gelegenheit, an den Arbeiten teilzunehmen, und nicht selten resultierte das Thema ihrer Dissertationen mittelbar oder unmittelbar aus dem Projekt.
Nach dessen Abschluss wandte sich Strocka Nordafrika zu, genauer gesagt der tunesischen Ausgrabungsstätte von Thugga (1996–2000). Das türkische Nysa mit seiner Bibliothek war dann Schauplatz seiner letzten Aktivitäten als Projektleiter (2002–2008).
Schon bald nach seiner Ankunft in Freiburg begann Strocka, die archäologische Abguss-Sammlung nach ihrem jahrelangen Dornröschen-Schlaf wiederzubeleben und kontinuierlich auszubauen, eine Aufgabe, die ihm sehr am Herzen lag. Mit ihr schuf er ein bedeutendes Instrumentarium für die Freiburger Lehre, das in Seminaren, Übungen und Zeichenkursen gern genutzt wurde.
Die Liste seiner wissenschaftlichen Publikationen (https://www.archaeologie.uni-freiburg.de/docs/publlisten/schriftenverzeichnis-strocka-maerz-2018.pdf) füllt zahlreiche Seiten und zeigt seine Bandbreite. Zugleich blieb er bis zuletzt seinen Lieblingsthemen, der antiken Wandmalerei, der Bauornamentik und der Stilkritik griechischer und römischer Plastik, treu.
In den Jahren 1986 bis 1988 übernahm Strocka den Vorsitz des Deutschen Archäologen-Verbandes (DArV). Darüber hinaus wirkte er von 2003 bis 2005 als Erster Vorsitzender der Mommsen-Gesellschaft. Seine damaligen Weggefährten waren Eckard Lefèvre als Zweiter Vorsitzender sowie als weitere Vorstandsmitglieder Martin Dreher, Sabine Föllinger, Claudia Klodt, Uta Kron und Thomas A. Schmitz. Matthias Steinhart und Thomas Ganschow ergänzten das Team als Schriftführer und Kassenführer.
In seinen Vorsitz fällt die erste Kleine Mommsen-Tagung, die 2004 in Bonn stattfand. Erfolgreich warb Strocka unter den in der Gesellschaft unterrepräsentierten Archäologen um neue Mitglieder und setzte sich konsequent für den interdisziplinären Austausch ein. Zwei weitere Amtszeiten (2005–2009) fungierte er als Zweiter Vorsitzender.
Ein Ehrenplatz in der Geschichte der Mommsen-Gesellschaft ist ihm gewiss. Wer ihn kennengelernt hat, wird ihn nicht vergessen.
