Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich is one of the leading
European universities with a tradition reaching back more than 500
years. The university has established the Graduate School "Distant
Worlds: Munich Graduate School for Ancient Studies", which has been
funded by the German Excellence Initiative since November 1st, 2012. As
part of its doctoral study and postdoctoral training programme, the
Graduate School combines research from a broad spectrum of disciplines
within the field of ancient studies.
The Graduate School invites applications of young researchers
specializing in Classics, Chinese or Indian Studies as well as the
Ancient Near East for 3 PostDoc-Positions. The starting date will be
November 1, 2013. The positions are *limited to two years*; they *may be
extended* by a third year. Each of the positions will coordinate a
junior research group. The research groups are orientated towards one of
the seven focus areas of the School.
Successful candidates will conduct an independent research project
contributing to one of the seven focus areas, to be chosen by the
candidates themselves. In pursuing their research, candidates will be
supported by mentors. They will collaborate with doctoral students in an
interdisciplinary junior research group and coordinate the activities of
that group. They will develop new research perspectives in the field of
ancient studies together with the members of the Muenchner Zentrum fuer
Antike Welten.
In order to apply, candidates will need to have completed their
doctorate in the field of ancient studies with outstanding results.
Applicants will need to submit a proposal for an independent research
project. They should demonstrate their willingness to work in an
interdisciplinary context as well as an interest in basic and
theoretical questions. We are especially interested in candidates whose
research projects relate to the following focus areas: "Organisation of
