**3 PhD positions (SNF doctoral positions)**
**100 %**:
Institute of Art History, University of Bern
Start of Employment: 1 October 2023 (for 4 years)

Three PhD positions are available in the SNSF-funded project **“Global Bones: Entangled Histories, Transfers and Translations in the Early Modern Age”** at the Institute of Art History of the University of Bern.

“Global Bones” investigates the global trajectories of Christian body relics in the era usually referred to - from a European perspective - as the Early Modern period. The research project describes and analyses intercontinental relic transfers and conducts local case studies to examine the cultural negotiations that took place between actors of different cultural traditions regarding the handling of human remains.

“Global Bones” is divided into five regional projects, each with a specific geographical focus, and a transversal project, in which the results of the regional projects flow together. For three of the regional projects, doing research on the Kingdom of Kongo (present-day Angola, DR Congo and Republic of Congo), on New Spain (present-day Mexico), and on Portuguese Latin America (present-day Brazil), we are seeking doctoral students. The projects trace and analyze the movements of relics, as well as the entanglements and conflicts of the respective local traditions in dealing with human remains and the Christian cult of relics brought to the regions in the course of Christian missions. “Global Bones” is an interdisciplinary project and draws on approaches and methods from the various humanities. Applications from graduates (Master) of disciplines such as history, ethnology, religious studies, and art history are welcome.

The projects envisage research trips in the respective regions and international library and archive studies. In addition, intensive collaboration of the project team is planned, with regular meetings, joint work on the transversal project's database, workshops, and a concluding conference. Residence in Bern or Switzerland is therefore mandatory. (If a move to Switzerland is necessary, this should be arranged by the start of the project).

Tasks

Tasks include
- the preparation of a PhD thesis in the respective thematic field of the project
- the collaboration in the planning and implementation of the joint transversal
project (data collection and input into the database)
- the participation in the activities of the project (jours fixes, reading courses,
project presentations, workshops, lectures, and conference)

Required are
- an above-average Master's degree in art history, history, ethnology or religious studies
- very good written and spoken English
- very good reading skills in Portuguese and/or Spanish
- a willingness to undertake research trips to the respective research region
- a residence in Switzerland or the willingness to move to Switzerland
- reliability and the ability to work in a team

Desirable are
- knowledge of the history and cultural contexts of the respective research region
- knowledge of relevant current methodological discourses
- knowledge of Christian mission history in the early modern period

We offer
- a close collaboration in an inspiring project team with international contacts
- intensive and supportive doctoral supervision
- the opportunity to contribute to the conception and realization of innovative research
- a central workplace
- Salary based on the regulations of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
- participation in the university sports program of the University of Bern
- Letter of motivation
- Curriculum vitae with references
- Sample of your work (either your Master's thesis or thematically relevant
seminar papers)
- Proposal of a thematically suitable research project (max. 3 pages)
