Institut für Klassische Archäologie der Eberhard Karl Universität Tübingen

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 wollen die Nachfahren nun anknüpfen und stiften 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 27.11.2022 an das Sekretariat des Archäologischen Instituts
der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen zu senden

DARWIN COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE

Darwin College invites applications for election to a stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellowship in Ancient History starting from 1 October 2023.
The Fellowship is available for research into economic, social or political history of any period and (unlike the Finley Ancient History Fellowship) is not confined to specialists in Greek or Roman history, although they are eligible to apply.    Preference will be given to those whose interests coincide with those of the late Sir Moses Finley. 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.

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 2023.  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 2023 and is renewable for one further year to a maximum of four years at the discretion of the Fellowships Committee.

Stipend and Emoluments

The starting stipend for the Finley Research Fellow with a PhD will be set at not less than Point 28 on the Darwin College Single Salary spine (2022-23 rate: £24,059.29), subject to annual cost-of-living uplift and to annual increments (the third year stipend at the 2022-23 rate would be £25,858.82). The stipend will be subject to a 10% reduction until the appointee’s PhD is conferred.
Membership of the Universities’ Superannuation Scheme is optional.
Research Fellows are entitled under the College’s Ordinances to dine (including formal hall) and lunch free of charge at the normal College table whenever meals are served (up to a limit of seven meals in each week).  Guests, not normally exceeding two in number on any one occasion, may be entertained at lunch or dinner, ten of them free of charge within any quarter (note termly guest nights with a special menu are subject to charge).
An allowance of up to £1,000 a year will be available for receipted travel and research expenses. A further £500 a year is available on application as a subsidy for appropriate conferences mounted in the College.
It may be possible to provide limited rented accommodation for up to two years, subject to availability, for which a charge will be made.
A non-pensionable additional allowance of £3,000 per annum (subject to annual review) will be paid to any Finley Research Fellow not resident in College.

Applications are invited from students who are nearing the end of their doctoral research or have submitted their doctoral thesis since 1 October 2021, to work on any aspect of Ancient Roman Studies (some preference may be given to students working on an aspect of the ancient city of Rome). The Scholarship will begin on 1 October 2022 and it is expected that candidates will have received their PhD (or DPhil) by then. It is expected that the successful candidate will use the one-year Scholarship to work on publishing his/her thesis, and/or articles, and/or preparing and delivering conference and seminar papers. We expect the Scholar to keep the mentor informed of his/her progress every quarter, and to submit a written progress report at the end of Scholarship.

The Roman Society will provide a mentor who has some expertise in the research interests of the successful candidate to provide some general guidance and support.

Students must be a member of the Roman Society at the time of application and be studying (or have studied for their doctorate) at a UK University.

A basic stipend of £10,000 p/a will be provided. £800 will be available to cover additional research expenses, such as travel to conferences or libraries. The Scholar may not hold a full-time post or research grant from any other institution, but it is expected that (s)he will apply for and hold other individual grants and/or carry out teaching. This Scholarship is designed to provide extra resources to allow the Scholar to carry out research and it is in no way expected that the Scholarship will be the only means of income for the year.

Students should apply with a covering letter, a c.v. including the names of two referees, and a document of no more than 1000 words outlining their current research and an account of their proposed research plans for the next year. Applications should be sent by email to Dr Fiona Haarer: Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!<mailto:Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!> to whom any queries should also be sent.  The deadline for applications is Wednesday 31 August, 2022.

The Roman Society is grateful to a long-standing member for supporting this Scholarship.

2019 marked two thousand years since the death of the ancient Roman soldier and statesman, Germanicus Julius Caesar. The Roman Society is pleased to offer this one-year Postdoctoral Scholarship, the beneficiary being known, for the duration, as the Roman Society Germanicus Scholar.
