- CRASIS Network schemeJun 08Donnerstag, 08. Juni 2023 12:55
Dear all,
CRASIS is pleased to announce its new Networks scheme, which aims to create opportunities for researchers in Groningen to work together around a common research interest. In these networks members support each other in developing research projects and writing grant applications, as well as organizing events that support discussion and disseminate the work of the network members. CRASIS offers to give financial support for the organization of network events for a period of two years.
We invite applications from researchers seeking to establish multi- or interdisciplinary research networks. Please find attached the Call for Applications with information on how to apply and the network requirements. This will be a yearly call, with the deadline for the first round of applications being 30th June 2023.
We look forward to receiving your applications, and don’t hesitate to get in touch with further questions.
Sylvia BuiterReMa-student Classical, Medieval and Early Modern studies.on behalf of the CRASIS teamUniversity of GroningenCRASIS is the Groningen institute for Interdisciplinary Studies in Culture, Religion and Society of the Ancient World. Follow CRASIS on Facebook or find out more about us on www.rug.nl/crasis.--
CRASIS is a platform for the study of antiquity and brings together experts in the Graeco-
Roman world and Near Eastern studies —Classical Greece, the Hellenistic world, the Roman
Empire, Judaism, Christianity and Islam — at the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Religion,
Culture and Society of the University of Groningen and the Protestant Theological University.
Its aim is to advance interdisciplinary study of the interplay between culture, religion and
society in antiquity.
CRASIS Networks Scheme
CRASIS aims to support and stimulate research projects on antiquity that transcend
disciplinary and faculty boundaries. To this end, CRASIS invites applications from researchers
seeking to establish multi- or interdisciplinary research networks. The CRASIS Networks
scheme aims to create opportuni2es for researchers in Groningen to work together around a
common research interest. In these networks members support each other in developing
research projects and wri2ng grant applica2ons, as well as organizing events that support
discussion and disseminate the work of the network members. CRASIS offers to give financial
support for the organization of network events for a period of two years.
Bringing together staff and research students from across faculties and at different career
stages, CRASIS Networks promote interdisciplinary thinking and the development of
collaborative skills. The convenors of Networks must come from three different disciplines (of
which at least two must be part of CRASIS) and the theme of the Network must relate to the
study of Mediterranean antiquity. We encourage Networks which bring the study of antiquity
into conversation with other disciplines as well as contemporary societal issues. Ideally,
network events should provide genuine opportunities for discussion and collaboration and
should be open to participants from across the University of Groningen and the Protestant
Theological University.
Activities organised by the network may include seminars, reading groups, discussion forums,
guest speaker talks, performances, film screenings, guided walks, visits to museums, hands-
on workshops and any other ac2vi2es that will further the intellectual and collabora2ve aims
of the Network.
The choice of research theme and the range of activities organized by the network is to be
decided by the Network convenors, CRASIS does not aim to set the networks’ agendas. We
also do not set an initial threshold for the size of a new network. Indeed, we welcome
innovative applications that will enable small groups of scholars to create new networks and
introduce research agendas that will develop during the course of the years that the Network
exists. We favour networks that plan a range of ongoing activity over the two years of funding
rather than a single large event.Proposals should give a brief account of the theme of the network, as well as its
interdisciplinary nature. In addi2on, applicants should provide information about plans for
proposed network activities and a preliminary budget outlining how they will spend the funds.
The deadline for the first round of applications is 30th of June 2023. This will be a yearly call.
Requirements:
- Hosting one of the Ancient World Seminars each academic year.
- Organizing a graduate workshop
- Organizing an event for BA students
What CRASIS can offer:
- Funding for 2 years, up to 1200 EUR for 2 years. Applica2ons for smaller amounts are
very welcome too.
- Networks receive one slot per year in the monthly Ancient World Seminar. The
network selects a speaker to invite, CRASIS will pay travel costs for the speaker, and
drinks and dinner aYer the seminar (up to a limit of 280 EUR per seminar).
Applications will be evaluated on their fulfillment of the requirements stated above and their
fit with the aims of the network scheme:
- To promote multidisciplinarity by creating a community of researchers from across the
Groningen academic community.
- To promote the integration of education and research.
If we receive more applications (which fulfill all the required criteria) than the budget allows
for, funding will be allocated via a lottery system. - Margarete-Bieber-Preis ausgeschriebenMai 31Mittwoch, 31. Mai 2023 12:57Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

- 10 PhD fellowships within the training program “From Antiquity to Community: Rethinking Classical Heritage through Citizen Humanities”Apr 15Samstag, 15. April 2023 12:57
AntCom Call for applications
Are you interested in cultural heritage, reception studies and/or the new frontiers of classics? Are you passionate about cutting-edge research but you also want to boost your skills by learning about new approaches and technologies? We might have something for you.
AntCom network publishes a call for 10 PhD fellowships within the training program “From Antiquity to Community: Rethinking Classical Heritage through Citizen Humanities”. The positions are funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Sktodowska-Curie Action, Grant Agreement 101073543.
AntCom training and research programme in a nutshell
What is the role of classical heritage in building modern, plural, diverse European identities? To answer this question the consortium “From Antiquity to Community: Rethinking Classical Heritage through Citizen Humanities” (AntCom) will train a new generation of 10 highly skilled cultural heritage researchers allowing them to fully engage in the digital transition as well as to address its professional and societal challenges.
AntCom will create a team of early-stage researchers equipped to design, implement and manage open-science projects, building on advanced techniques of digitization and data collection. AntCom looks at both tangible and intangible classical heritage in Europe within three main areas: 1. Manuscript heritage; 2. Linguistic heritage; 3. Ritual and narrative heritage. As a consortium of 4 universities – University of Southern Denmark, University of Verona, University of Salento, and University of Santiago de Compostela – and 8 associated partners AntCom will provide fellows with the skills and training to lead heritage research in Europe and to be employable in academia, curatorial institutions, science communication, industrial imaging and tourism.
AntCom offers the first structured training program in Citizen Science for the humanities (Citizen Humanities). It prioritises both open science and innovative curatorial techniques (Multi- and Hyperspectral Imaging) to encourage cooperation between researchers and communities. Professionals trained by AntCom will have the skills to bring heritage back to communities and build more complete, sustainable narratives and memory practices about Europe’s classical past. AntCom builds on a high-level, integrated cooperation between the humanities and STEM, inspired by the notion that both areas equally provide skills suitable to meet current needs of the job market and to create a better, more resilient society.
Applications will be accepted from 24/02/2023 until 24/04/2023 at 12:00 pm (Central European Time).

https://antcom.eu/ - 3 doctoral fellowshipsApr 12Mittwoch, 12. April 2023 09:30
Dear all,
Please find below information and links concerning three doctoral fellowships in Ancient History, Classical Philology, and Biblical Studies as part of the project STASTA (STAtes of STAndardization) at the University of Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve).
The collaborative project STASTA aims to be the first comparative and diachronic study of the relationship between the standardisation of market tools (weights, measures, coinage), and interrelated developments in literary culture, politics, and religious ideology in the Greco-Roman world from the 4th century BCE to the 4th century CE. The major hypothesis of STASTA is that the standardisation of market tools, ubiquitous in ancient lived environments, played a major role in, and can be seen reflected in, developments in culture, politics, and literature of the period. In part, STASTA aims to assess the extent to which standardisation of market tools is a way by which populations (often heterogeneous) are made more "legible" to the state (Scott 1998)-and sometimes aim to disrupt such legibility.
While this project is essentially comparative and collaborative, reaching across linguistic, regional, chronological, and disciplinary boundaries, it includes three specific corpora, each the province of a doctoral project by the four STASTA promoters:
According to UCLouvain doctoral regulations, the thesis must be completed in four years on a full-time basis. Within the STASTA project, the first two years of funding are guaranteed. Funding may be renewed for a further two years if the successful candidate fulfils the conditions set out in the doctoral regulations (passing the confirmation test) and if the funding sources are renewed.
Consortium: prof. Charles Doyen, prof. Geert Van Oyen, prof. Aaron Kachuck, prof. Matthieu Richelle.
For a fuller description of the posts, please see below; for details on applying, please use the links.
Yours very truly,
Aaron Kachuck

Doctoral fellowship (full-time; 24 months, renewable once) in Greek History (UCLouvain, Belgium)
Application deadline: May 15, 2022
Tasks and duties: Completion of a doctoral dissertation involving doctoral training, research stays abroad, participation in team seminars, participation in the organisation of an international conference.
Project description: This doctoral dissertation is part of the STASTA project, which aims to study comparatively and diachronically the relationship between the standardisation of market tools (weights, measures, coinage), and interrelated developments in literary culture, politics, and religious ideology in the Greco-Roman world from the 4th century BCE to the 4th century CE. More specifically, the doctoral dissertation will study the rich and diverse corpus of documentation concerning the agoranomoi (800+ stone inscriptions; 300+ mentions on Greek weights; 250+ attestations in Classical literature). The study of this corpus aims to reconstruct the establishment of a metrological system, in its legal and administrative dimensions, by retracing the legislative process of creating metrological standards and defining prototypes, and by studying the functions and social representations of magistrates in charge of controlling weights and measures in a commercial context. The dissertation may be written in either English or in French.
Profile: The successful candidate will hold a Master's degree in Ancient History, Classical Archaeology or Classical Philology at the time of taking up the position. A good knowledge of ancient Greek and Latin is required. An excellent command of English or French (level C2) and a good command of the second language (level B2) are required. Fluency in another language is an additional asset.
Additional information: The selected candidate must be admitted to, then inscribed within, the doctoral program at the University of Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve), within the Doctoral Commission of "History, history of art and archaeology" (CDD4). The selected candidate will receive a tax-free scholarship (with social security contributions, but without professional deductions). According to UCLouvain doctoral regulations, the thesis must be completed in four years on a full-time basis. Within the STASTA project, the first two years of funding are guaranteed. Funding may be renewed for a further two years if the successful candidate fulfils the conditions set out in the doctoral regulations (passing the confirmation test) and if the funding sources are renewed.
Starting date: October 1st, 2023
Documents required: CV with a cover letter, a letter of recommendation, copies of diplomas and/or transcripts.

Doctoral fellowship (full-time; 24 months, renewable once) in Latin Literature (UCLouvain, Belgium).
Application deadline: May 15, 2022
Tasks and duties: Completion of a doctoral dissertation involving doctoral training, research stays abroad, participation in team seminars, participation in the organisation of an international conference.
Project description: This doctoral dissertation is part of the STASTA project, which aims to study comparatively and diachronically the relationship between the standardisation of market tools (weights, measures, coinage), and interrelated developments in literary culture, politics, and religious ideology in the Greco-Roman world from the 4th century BCE to the 4th century CE. More specifically, the doctoral dissertation will study how market tools-as symbols of authority whose centralisation and standardisation are always also sites of contention-served also as tools for thought for authors of Latin literature from the Republic to the Empire, with a focus on literature of the age of Augustus, when the standardisation of coinage took hold, the dream of standardising weights and measures across the empire began to put out roots. What can Latin literature tell us about states of standardisation in the early Roman empire? What, in turn, can states of standardisation tell us about literature-its metaphors, its structures, its goals? Concretely, this dissertation will focus on Latin textual archives (especially, but not exclusively, poetic) of the 1st centuries BCE and CE to study and compile the wide diffusion of market tools as terms, objects, and as metaphors; as key details or major themes in textual archives; and as aspects in the ideological construction of, or opposition to, new forms of political culture. The resulting dissertation will contribute principally to ancient literary studies, but also to the social, political, and cultural history of antiquity. The dissertation may be written in either English or in French.
Profile: The successful candidate will hold a Master's degree in Classical Philology (or equivalent) at the time of taking up the position; for questions concerning the equivalence of different degrees, please feel free to be in touch with the promotor (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!>). A good knowledge of Latin is required, and a good knowledge of ancient Greek would be an additional asset. An excellent command of English or French (level C2) and a good command of the second language (level B2) are required. Fluency in another language (ancient or modern) is an additional asset.
Additional information: The selected candidate must be admitted to, then inscribed within, the doctoral program at the University of Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve), within the Doctoral Commission of "Languages, literatures, and translation-studies" (CDD3).

Doctoral fellowship (full-time; 24 months, renewable once) in Biblical studies (Hebrew Bible / Old Testament) (UCLouvain, Belgium).
Application deadline: May 15, 2022
Tasks and duties: Completion of a doctoral dissertation involving doctoral training, research stays abroad, participation in team seminars, participation in the organisation of an international conference.
Project description: This doctoral dissertation is part of the STASTA project, which aims to study comparatively and diachronically the relationship between the standardisation of market tools (weights, measures, coinage), and interrelated developments in literary culture, politics, and religious ideology in the Greco-Roman world from the 4th century BCE to the 4th century CE. More specifically, the doctoral dissertation will study the notion of "just measure" in Jewish and Christian literature during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, using philological and linguistic methodologies. This study will also shed new light on the ways Jews and Christians interacted with the socio-economical context in these periods. Possible areas of investigation include the reception and echoes of the relevant biblical texts (e.g. Lev 19:36; Deut 25:13-16: Prov 11:1) in Second Temple literature; the Greek section of the Aramaic Levi Document, which is inspired by Babylonian metrological lists; and the translation of the Hebrew terms for weights and measures in the Septuagint; the figurative use of the notion of measure in the New Testament (e.g. Mt 7:2; Jn 3:34; Rm 12:3). The dissertation may be written in either English or in French.
Profile: The successful candidate will hold a Master's degree in Biblical studies (or equivalent) at the time of taking up the position. A good knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Greek is required. An excellent command of English or French (level C2) and a good command of the second language (level B2) are required.

The Berliner Antike-Kolleg
welcomes applications for
Visiting Research Fellowships in Ancient Studies
to be held for a period of up to six months during the academic year 2023/24.
The Berliner Antike-Kolleg is an alliance between the partner institutions Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz and Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte. It promotes collaboration in research, graduate teaching, public engagement and the development of digital applications in all areas of Ancient Studies. For further information see www.berliner-antike-kolleg.org
The fellowships are open to scholars at any career level after the PhD. Fellows are expected to be resident in Berlin for the duration of the fellowship and to carry out an innovative research project in tandem with (a) Berlin-based colleague(s) who will be hosting the fellow at one of the partner institutions and who should be named in the application. This project may also be a pilot study in preparation of a larger research project to be developed in collaboration with the Berlin based partner. While any topic in any area of Ancient Studies is welcome, applicants are encouraged to submit a research proposal related to the Berliner Antike-Kolleg’s annual theme for 2023/24, “Conflicts and how to deal with them”. Fellows are further expected to take part in activities of the Berliner Antike-Kolleg as appropriate, such as relevant seminars of the Berlin Graduate School for Ancient Studies, the lecture series “Current Issues in Ancient Studies”, or other public lectures and outreach events.
Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of 2500 Euros. In addition, travel costs, research expenses, and the organization of workshops can be covered.
Fellowships are available as of 1 September 2023 for a period of up to six months (a later starting date is possible). Applications should be submitted by 15 May 2023.
