RESEARCH FELLOW ON THE PAUL COMMENTARIES PROJECT
A research fellow is being sought to work on a new project scheduled to begin this autumn analysing the biblical text of the earliest commentaries on the Pauline Epistles in Greek and Latin.
The research fellow will be a member of a team led by Dr Hugh Houghton and based at the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing in Birmingham ( www.birmingham.ac.uk/itsee ). He or she will examine early biblical commentaries of the fourth and fifth centuries, comparing them with their manuscript tradition and related works. The work will involve identifying and adding relevant material to the project database and making electronic transcriptions of primary sources.
Candidates should have a doctoral degree in a relevant subject, excellent linguistic ability in Latin or Greek and very good computer skills. As it says in the advertisement, an eye for detail and good self-motivation to persist with repetitive and sometimes tedious text- critical work are essential!
The post is full-time and fixed-term, initially for three years. The closing date is 14th September 2011.
