**Doctoral researcher (100%, 4 years)**:
The Institute for the Science of Religion, University of Bern
seeks a doctoral researcher for the project
Vegetarianism, Veganism and Religion:
Ancient Origins and Contemporary Features of an Ethical Worldview
funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), April 2024-March 2028.
The overall project will analyze the relationship between vegetarianism, veganism, and religion in two subprojects: (1) The Sentient Souls of Animals: A Systematic Comparison of the Ancient Indian and Greek Origins of Vegetarianism/s (doctoral project); and (2) Vegans and Vegetarians in Contemporary Switzerland: Climate Responsibility, Animal Welfare, and Meatfree Utopia (PostDoc).
For subproject (1), we are looking for a doctoral researcher interested in the religious and philosophical origins of vegetarianism in Antiquity in terms of global interconnected history, dealing with Ancient Greek and Indian views on non-violence, animal ethics, and finally with ideas of karma and rebirth.
While both subprojects follow specific cognitive interests, the overall project aims to explore on a systematic level how vegetarianism/s can be better defined as “ethical worldviews,” taking shape less as a religious identity but as an individual spirituality.
Project goals
- Research in cooperation with the postdoctoral researcher and the Principle Investigator at the Institute for the Science of Religion
- Completing a PhD dissertation (Science of Religion)
- Organizing workshops, guest lectures, and participation in other project-related activities
**Profile**:
- Master in Classics (Greek Philology), Philosophy of Antiquity, Indology, or Religious Studies
- Willingness to learn Ancient Language/s (Greek and/or Sanskrit)
We offer
- PhD position 100% for four years (SNSF)
- The salary is based on the regulation by the Swiss National Science Foundation
- A supportive and multidisciplinary environment at the Institute and the University of Bern
