UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
Department of Classics
MARGO TYTUS VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased to announce the Margo Tytus Visiting Scholars Program. Tytus Fellows, in the fields of philology, history and archaeology will ordinarily be at least 5 years beyond receipt of the Ph. D. Apart from residence in Cincinnati during term, the only obligation of Tytus Fellows is to pursue their own research. Fellowships are tenable during the regular academic year (September to April).
There are two categories of Tytus Fellowships, long-term and short-term.
Long Term Fellows will come to Cincinnati for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of two during the regular academic year. They will receive a monthly stipend of $1500 plus housing and a transportation allowance of $1500.
Short Term Fellows will come to Cincinnati for a minimum of one month and a maximum of two months during the regular academic year. They will also receive a monthly stipend of $1500 plus housing and a transportation allowance of $1500.
Both Long Term and Short Term Fellows will also receive office space and enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College Libraries. While at Cincinnati Tytus Fellows will be free to pursue their own research.
The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library is one of the world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies (http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/). Comprising 270,000 volumes, the library covers all aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, history, civilization, art, and archaeology. Of special value for scholars is both the richness of the collection and its accessibility -- almost any avenue of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and broadly under a single roof. The unusually comprehensive core collection, which is maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is augmented by several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century German Programmschriften, extensive holdings in Palaeography, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. At neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau Library, with holdings in excess of 470,000 volumes, is rich in Judaica and Near Eastern Studies.
Application Deadline: January 15.
A description of the Tytus Program and an application form is available online at http://classics.uc.edu/index.php/tytus. Questions can be directed to Prof. Getzel M. Cohen (getzel.cohen@uc.edu).

Anchoring Innovation is the new research agenda of OIKOS, the National Research School in
Classical Studies in the Netherlands. This agenda was developed with the
financial support of Leiden University, Radboud University Nijmegen, University
of Amsterdam and University of Groningen. It looks at innovation processes in
various domains, including politics, religion, architecture, literature,
linguistics and technology, in classical antiquity. The concept of “anchoring”
refers to the many different ways in which people connect new developments and
initiatives in these domains with the old, the familiar and traditional.
Discourse-cohesion, intertextuality, memory studies, architectural transitions
can be considered examples of ‘anchoring innovation’. To help us implement this
research agenda we are currently looking for 4 PhD students and 4 postdocs:
Radboud University
Nijmegen
1 PhD candidate Greek /
Latin
1 PhD candidate Ancient
History / Classical Archaeology
1 Postdoc Latin, 1.0
fte, 3 years
1 Postdoc Roman
Archaeology, 1.0 fte, 3 years
University of Groningen
1 Postdoc Greek /
Latin, 1.0 fte, 3 years
1 Postdoc Ancient
History, 1.0 fte, 3 years
Leiden University
1 PhD candidate Latin
University of Amsterdam
1 PhD candidate Greek
For a full description of the inidividual
projects and their requirements, see https://www.ru.nl/oikos/anchoring-innovation.
The deadline for submission of application to most of these projects is end of
October, 2014.
