Lady Wallis Budge Junior Research Fellowship in Egyptology (Oxford)

University College invites applications for the Lady Wallis Budge Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Egyptology, tenable for a period of three years from 1 September 2013. The Fellowship will be awarded within any area of Egyptology.

Junior Research Fellowships are intended to provide opportunities for outstanding academics at the beginning of their careers. Univ has at any time between 8 and 10 JRFs in any of the subjects in which it has Fellows and Lecturers, several of which are funded by Old Members of the College. JRFs play an important part in the intellectual and social lives of the College. Further details about the research of current Fellows can be found here.

The primary criterion for appointment will be research excellence. Candidates must have a strong educational record; be approaching the end of their doctoral research or have recently begun post-doctoral study; have research expertise as demonstrated by publications, or demonstrate promise of such achievement; and have a coherent plan of research for the duration of the fellowship.

The primary duty of the post is to carry out research.  While the College is careful to protect the research time of its JRFs, the College will use its best efforts to provide access to a limited amount of teaching, in the interest of the Fellow’s career development, and the Fellow may be able to participate in related academic activities of the College, such as undergraduate admissions or schools liaison work, for which additional remuneration will be offered.

Candidates must be confident that they will have obtained their doctorates by the start of their appointment.  Conversely, this position is not intended for those who have already held another stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship or equivalent (such as a Career Development Fellowship), or for those who obtained their doctorates more than two years prior to the application date.

The current stipend for a Junior Research Fellow not in receipt of other emoluments is £20,361 per annum (at current levels). This sum will normally be reduced by the annual salary support received from any other funding body or other source (other than payment for piecemeal teaching), with a minimum stipend payable by the College of £2,500. The Fellow will be offered free meals and free accommodation in a College flat if available, or a housing allowance in lieu (currently £5,054 p.a.).  Fellows will also be offered shared study space in College.  The Fellow will receive an academic allowance (currently £1,925), an entertainment allowance (currently £177), membership of USS and private health insurance.

Selected candidates may be asked to submit written work, which may be one or two published or submitted articles, or all or part of their thesis. Applicants should indicate on their application forms which material they propose to submit, if invited to do so, but should not at this stage submit any written work.

Applications should be sent to Ms Verity Pavitt, Academic Services Manager, University College, Oxford, OX1 4BH (fax +44 (0)1865 276790; e-mail recruitment  at univ.ox.ac.uk) by 12 noon on Thursday 4 April 2013, and should include:

A completed application form
A recruitment monitoring form (this form is used for monitoring purposes only and will not be seen by any member of the selection committee)
Applicants should also arrange for their three referees to send their references to the Academic Services Manager by the same date.

Előadás az ELTE-n

2013. március 4-én hétfőn 14 órára

előadására 

Literary Texts from Roman Trimithis 
(Dakhla Oasis, Egypt)

ELTE BTK Budapest, VIII. ker. Múzeum krt. 4/B épület félemelet 172-es előadó


The Egyptology Department of Eötvös Loránd University  and the Medieval Studies Department of Central European University cordially invite you to a lecture by 

Raffaella Cribiore (New York University)

 Literary Texts from Roman Trimithis 
(Dakhla Oasis, Egypt)

On Monday 4 March at 2 pm
Lecture Hall 172
ELTE BTK, Budapest, VIIIth district , Múzeum krt. 4/B.


An archaeological mission (based at New York University) is excavating the site of Amheida, the ancient Trimithis, in the Western part of the Dakhla Oasis in the western desert of Egypt. During the Roman Period the settlement flourished; it was abandoned around the end of the 4th or the beginning of the 5th century. One of the three areas of excavation to date has been a fourth-century private residence and the buildings surrounding it. This house belonged to an upper-class family, that of the councilor Serenos. Adjacent to it there was a school of higher education of at least three rooms dating to the second quarter of the fourth century. At a later time, Serenos annexed it. The house was rich in mythological paintings and in one of the rooms a graffito with a verse from Euripides was found. In the school, where benches were built everywhere, literary texts were written on the walls: epigrams exhorting students to ascend the hill of rhetoric, verses from Homer’s Odyssey, and a composition based on a text from Plutarch. These texts written are a further proof that teaching and learning took place there and confirm that they belong to the only building so far discovered from antiquity that was certainly a school and showed educational activities.

Történelem az ókorban - Előadássorozat az ELTE-n

Az ELTE BTK Ókortudományi Intézet négy éve minden tavaszi félévben előadássorozatot szervez saját hallgatóinak és minden érdeklődőnek. Az eddigi témák: “A város az ókorban”, “Tárgyak az ókorból”, “Etnikai identitás az ókorban”, “Nemi szerepek az ókorban”.

Ebben az évben az előadássorozat témája: “Történelem az ókorban”. Az előadássorozat az kívánja bemutatni, hogy az ókori kultúrák milyen viszonyt alakítottak ki a múlttal és/vagy saját múltjukkal. Néhány az előadássorozat által tárgyalandó kérdésekből:

Létezett-e történelem abban az értelemben, ahogy ezt a fogalmat napjainkban értelmezzük? Mi különbözteti meg a történelmet bizonyos múltbéli események vagy eseménysorozatok elbeszélésétől, és mit gondoltak erről a kérdésről a különböző ókori civilizációk? Milyen szövegtípusokban foglalkoztak múltbeli eseményekkel, és ezeknek a szövegeknek mi lehetett az eredeti kontextusuk? Milyen szellemi háttérből származnak a görög történetírók munkái? Mi volt a célja a múlttal való foglalkozásnak a különböző társadalmakban? A múlttal való foglalkozás intézményei az ókorban.

Helyszín: ELTE BTK 1088 Bp., Múzeum krt. 4, Gólyavár, B terem.
Időpont: csütörtökönként 16-17:30.

Sajnos blogunkat érintő előadás nagyon kevés lesz, csak a félév végén (a teljes listához klikk ide):

április 25: Raczky Pál: “Tér-idő dimenziók az őskorban”
május 2: Kalla Gábor: “Mit tudtak a régmúltról Mezopotámiában?”
