Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS)

Announcement of 2 Scholarships for Doctoral Studies (October 2026 - September 2030) in the Doctoral
Program “Ancient Objects and Visual Studies”
The Graduate School Scholarship Program (GSSP) of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is offering two (2)
doctoral scholarships for aspiring PhD students within the framework of the “Ancient Objects and Visual Studies”
doctoral program of the BerGSAS, https://www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org/en/bergsas/programme/aovis/index.html
We welcome applications from highly qualified graduates from the fields of:
Ancient Oriental Studies, Classical Archaeology, Egyptology and Northeast African Archaeology, Near Eastern
Archaeology, or Prehistoric Archaeology.
Applicants must hold an excellent master's degree (MA, MSt, or MSc) in one of the aforementioned disciplines or be
very close to completion. Very close to completion means that the Master’s thesis must have been submitted and has
already been graded at the time of application.
Objectives of the doctoral program “Ancient Objects and Visual Studies”
The doctoral program, is concerned, among other things, with the effects of images and the mechanisms that make
up communication with images. Key questions are: Who produces images and for whom? What message do these
images convey? What are the elements of meaning (image ciphers) that make up the semantic field of images? To
what extent can images be precisely determined in their semantic content? Such questions need to be explored by
looking at the archaeological or historical object/artifact in its respective cultural context. Starting from the individual
object, the general cultural influences on the perception of images should be worked out. Furthermore, the
knowledge of the respective functioning of ancient images and artifacts should be combined with the contemporary
possibilities of visual presentation. International perspectives are highly welcome here, especially those that question
both the European-influenced role of images and the role of the museums.

Who can apply? (Please note that these requirements are binding)
• This call is open ONLY to applicants who are not German citizens
• Applicants must not have completed a PhD previously
• The Master’s degree must not have been completed before March 1, 2020
• Applicants must not have resided in Germany continuously before December 1, 2024
Duration of the scholarship and funding

The scholarship is available from October 2026 (Berlin winter semester 2026/27) for four years, subject to a
satisfactory annual progress review. In accordance with DAAD guidelines, the scholarship holders receive a stipend of
1,300 Euros a month, a travel allowance, payments towards health, accident and liability insurance cover, allowances
for study and research (and, where applicable, rent and family allowances) as well as financial support for a pre-
sessional German language course. Plus, material resources of 1,000 Euros per year, administered by the supervisor’s
institute. Research stays outside of Germany during the funding period may be supported if they do not exceed 25%
of the total funding period, and do not take place directly at the beginning of the funding period.
