The project CITE
Formed by two project groups in Basel and Cambridge, and led by specialists in Greek and Latin Literature and Ancient Philosophy (Prof. Cédric Scheidegger Laemmle, Basel; Prof. Richard Hunter and Prof. Gábor Betegh, Cambridge), the cross-disciplinary project CITE is dedicated to the study of the indirect transmission of ancient literature and philosophy, but shifts attention from textual problems to questions of meaning, interpretation and transmission history raised by the citing texts themselves. Comprising six case studies which together capture central forms of ancient reading practice across the full spectrum of literary, philosophical and technical writing, CITE seeks to contribute to our understanding of how ancient theories of reading and interpretation are applied and how they can be situated on a continuum of reading practices across interpretative and linguistic communities and entrenched boundaries of genre, language and discipline.
Your positionThe successful candidates will work primarily with Prof. Scheidegger Laemmle and Prof. Hunter to study the citation and exegesis of poetry in the rhetorical tradition (PhD position 1) and of Roman drama in later antiquity (PhD position 2); it is expected that they will complete their PhD theses within the project's lifetime, with a view to revising it for publication. The doctoral researchers will contribute to the comparative study of the quotational and interpretative practices in Greek and Roman literature which will be a shared focus of all project members and take a full share in the project's workshops and conferences.Your profileCandidates are expected to have successfully completed an MA degree (or equivalent) in Classics / Latin and/or Greek Literature. An interest in the study of indirect traditions, ancient critical practice and textual transmission is desirable. Candidates will pursue a wide range of interests in Latin and Greek literature and value interdisciplinary approaches and dialogue with colleagues and students; ability to work collegially within an international team is essential. Proficiency in German and English is desirable.We offer youThe Department of Ancient Civilizations offers a stimulating research environment in a friendly and open atmosphere. The post-holder will have an attractive office space with full access to the University's excellent infrastructure as well as the resources of the University Library and the departmental library, Bibliothek Altertumswissenschaften, a leading research library for the study of the ancient Mediterranean cultures and Graeco-Roman literature. They will be expected to enrol as PhD students with the University of Basel and to join the interdisciplinary Doktoratsprogramm der Basler Altertumswissenschaften. They will profit from regular interchange with the project teams both in Basel and in Cambridge. The Basel Department regularly hosts visiting scholars (e.g. through the Basel Fellowships in Latin Literature) and is a centre of scholarly exchange both nationally and internationally. The successful candidates will be offered an attractive remuneration package (salary, social benefits) in accordance with the guidelines of the University, with access to the University's rich programme of Continuing Education, Language Teaching and University Sports.Application / Contact
