UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
Department of Classics
TYTUS SUMMER RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The University of Cincinnati Classics Department is pleased to announce
the Margo Tytus Summer Residency Program. Summer Residents, in the fields
of philology, history and archaeology will come to Cincinnati for a
minimum of one month and a maximum of three during the summer (June 15 -
September 15). Apart from residence in Cincinnati during term, the only
obligation of Summer Fellows is to pursue their own research. They will
receive free university housing. They will also receive office space and
enjoy the use of the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College
Libraries.
The University of Cincinnati Burnam Classics Library
(http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/index.html) is one of the
world's premier collections in the field of Classical Studies. Comprising
225,000 volumes and other research materials, the library covers all
aspects of the Classics: the languages and literatures, history,
civilization, art, and archaeology. Of special value for scholars is both
the richness of the collection and its accessibility -- almost any avenue
of research in the classics can be pursued deeply and broadly under a
single roof. The unusually comprehensive core collection, which is
maintained by three professional classicist librarians, is augmented by
several special collections such as 15,000 nineteenth century German
Programmschriften, extensive holdings in Palaeography, Byzantine and
Modern Greek Studies. At neighboring Hebrew Union College, the Klau
Library (http://library.cn.huc.edu/), with holdings in excess of 450,000
volumes and other research materials, is rich in Judaica and Near Eastern
Studies.
Application Deadline: February 15. Applicants must have the Ph.D. in hand
at the time of application.
A description of the Summer Residency Program is available online at
http://classics.uc.edu/resources/tytus2.html. There is an online
application at http://classics.uc.edu/resources/tytussummerap.lasso.

Ph.D Studentship
The School of History at the University of St Andrews is in a position to
offer a fully funded AHRC Ph.D studentship for a suitably qualified
candidate. The Scholarship will cover full fees, and a maintenance grant
at the standard AHRC rate.
In addition the successful applicant will be able to apply for an
additional St Andrews scholarship of £3000 per annum, which may be held in
addition to the AHRC studentship.
This studentship forms part of an AHRC grant funding an ongoing
bibliographical project under the direction of Professor Andrew Pettegree
and Dr Malcolm Walsby. The successful applicant will be required to work
on the Parisian book trade in the period 1500-1540. They should therefore
have serviceable French, and a willingness to work with Latin materials

in the first year of the studentship). The successful applicant will be
required to work in St Andrews for the first year of the studentship, and
may expect to be based in Paris for some part of the three years of the
grant.
