Job description

Apply by 15 February 2012 for the Three-Year Doctoral Program in Ancient Philosophy.

The Graduate School of Ancient Philosophy (http://www.gsap.hu-berlin.de) at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (http://www.hu-berlin.de) is pleased to offer two fellowships for doctoral study in Ancient Philosophy.

The fellowships accord to the standards of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) such that they will cover living expenses for three years. They are for full-time study only. There are no tuition fees, but there are low administrative fees amounting to ca. 250-300 Euros per semester (which also cover free public transportation in Berlin).

The Graduate School of Ancient Philosophy

The GSAP provides a structured doctoral program in ancient philosophy (in English and German). The three-year program leads to the doctoral degree in Philosophy or Classics. It includes colloquia, dissertation seminars, reading groups, tutorial supervision, international workshops, and intensive short courses. The program culminates in the writing of a doctoral dissertation (in English or German).

The School’s core faculty:

  • Prof. Jonathan Beere
  • Prof. Christoph Helmig
  • Prof. Stephen Menn
  • Prof. Philip van der Eijk
  • Dr. Jacob Rosen
The School is embedded in a lively community of scholars and institutions (like the Excellence Cluster Topoi) all devoted to ancient studies.

The Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN)
Students of the program are automatically part of the international Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) initiated by the Graduate School. The APSN involves collaboration with five international partner institutions in the field of ancient philosophy and science:
  • University of Chicago (Philosophy and Classics)
  • University of Leuven (Philosophy, De Wulf-Mansioncentre)
  • Princeton University (Philosophy and Classics)
  • University of Toronto (Philosophy and Classics)
  • University of Cambridge (History and Philosophy of Science)

Each candidate will have the opportunity to visit the partner departments, participate in (joint) conferences, or workshops, etc. Thus every PhD student at the GSAP will become a member of a vibrant international community of excellent PhD students and scholars. For more information see http://www.gsap.hu-berlin.de/apsn.

Applications

The closing date for applications for the fellowships is 15 February. The doctoral fellowships advertised here have no thematic restrictions. Interviews will be held at Berlin during the last week of March 2012. Candidates from overseas will not need to travel to Berlin for an interview.
