**Call for Applications**
**3 Postdoctoral positions (80-100%) to participate in the research project**
**Religious Interaction and Co-Production: Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Entangled Early Medieval Occident**:
Prof. Katharina Heyden, SNSF Consolidator Grant, 2023-2028

The research team will identify, analyze, and discuss cases of historical interaction both real and intellectual between Muslims, Christians, and Jews that are especially well-suited to revealing the ongoing dynamics and the ambivalent potentials of religious co-production. The team members will provide particularly significant case studies on interactions between Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the early Medieval Occident and the resulting 'products' - such as rituals, festivals, legal norms, saints, holy places, lifestyles, narratives, doctrines, images, knowledge, hopes. The project will bring together especially talented and promising postdoctoral researchers to do groundbreaking independent research in the historical study of religious interaction and coproduction.
In a regular bi-weekly reading group, the team will continuously study relevant sources together and discuss conceptual aspects to refine the concept of religious coproduction on its empirical-historical, epistemological-hermeneutical as well as the ethicalnormative level. All of this will take place in an attractive academic environment that is particularly conducive to such a project at the University of Bern. The Bern research team will be integrated into the joint international research initiative “Interactive Histories, Co-Produced Communities: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam”, a collaboration between the PI and Prof. David Nirenberg and his team at the IAS Princeton. This Bern-Princeton initiative is connecting senior and junior scholars from all over the world in an effort to cultivate a new understanding of religious history as a process of co-production rather than isolated identity formation. For more information see:
