Dear colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention a PhD-position at Radboud University Nijmegen, advertised in the context of the MSCA Doctoral Network 'MECANO: Mechanics of Canon Formation and the Transmission of Knowledge from Greco-Roman Antiquity’.
MECANO brings together five universities and an array of academic and non-academic institutions interested in the topic of canonicity. MECANO's twofold goal is to develop a new model for the study of canonicity and to train ten PhD researchers to become versatile intellectuals ready to tackle the challenges of modern engagement with the topics of canonicity, diversity, and cultural heritage.
PhD position: 'Recovering Anonymous Late-Antique Preachers in the Corpus of Pseudo-Augustinian Sermons’ (Supervised by Dr Shari Boodts (Radboud Institute for Culture & History) and Prof. Gert Partoens (KU Leuven))
This PhD project centres on the corpus of anonymous late-antique sermons which travelled under the name of Augustine in the medieval manuscript tradition. This project seeks to open up and valorise this important and understudied corpus by describing and analysing the sermons of forgotten late-antique preachers, preserved through their association with Augustine. The project combines expertise in Latin philology and medieval manuscript studies with a focus on digital methods and data science.
The vacancy is open to applicants of all nationalities who comply with the MSCA mobility requirement: not having resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding appointment. The deadline for application is 31 January 2024.
