TWO POSTDOC POSITIONS FOR PAPYROLOGISTS

This week we would like to draw your attention to a job offer pertaining to the PLATINUM project. Please note that the positions are due to start between 1 September and 1 December 2017 and that the deadline for the submission of applications is 14 July 2017.

"Two postdoc fellows - papyrologists and/or historians highly specialized in papyrology - are being hired within the ERC funded project PLATINUM (ERC-StG n.636983). The aim of PLATINUM is to scrutinize Latin texts on papyrus from several points of view in order to highlight their substantial contribution to our knowledge of innovations in ancient Roman literature, language, history, and society, especially in the multilingual and multicultural contexts of the Eastern part of the Empire between the 1st century B.C. and 8th century A.D. A new corpus of Latin Texts on Papyrus is being produced and published with Oxford University Press.
