Vor 5 Tagen


Basel, Basel-Stadt, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

The Universität Basel Department of Ancient Civilizations invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in Latin and Greek Literature. This exciting opportunity is part of the SNSF-funded research project CITE, which focuses on the study of indirect transmission of ancient literature and philosophy.

This four-year full-time position will commence as soon as possible after 1 September 2025. The successful candidate will work primarily with Professors Scheidegger Laemmle and Hunter to investigate instances of self-repetition and self-recapitulation across various literary, philosophical, and technical writings. Their contribution will significantly enhance our understanding of quotational and interpretative practices in Greek and Roman literature.

The researcher will play an important role in mentoring PhD students, facilitating exchanges within the project teams, and contributing to the organization of workshops and conferences. The Department of Ancient Civilizations offers a stimulating research environment, attractive office space, and access to excellent infrastructure, including the University Library and the departmental library, Bibliothek Altertumswissenschaften.

To be eligible, candidates should have successfully completed their doctorate in Classics/Latin and/or Greek Literature. Experience in studying indirect traditions, ancient critical practice, and textual transmission is highly desirable. A strong publication record, teaching experience, and ability to work collegially within an international team are essential requirements.

As part of this role, you will contribute to a shared focus on comparative studies of quotational and interpretative practices in Greek and Roman literature. You will also profit from regular interactions with the project teams in Basel and Cambridge, as well as opportunities to engage with visiting scholars through the Basel Fellowships in Latin Literature.

We offer a competitive salary of approximately CHF 70,000 per year, commensurate with your qualifications and experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package, including social benefits and access to the University's Continuing Education, Language Teaching, and University Sports programs. We encourage you to apply via the online application portal by 19 January 2025.
