AMERICAN PHILOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION/THESAURUS LINGUAE LATINAE (MUNICH)

Supported by a Generous Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities

The American Philological Association invites applications for a one-year Fellowship, tenable from July 2012 through June 2013, which will enable an American scholar to participate in the work of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae Institute in Munich. Fellows at the TLL develop a broadened perspective of the range and complexity of the Latin language and culture from the classical period through the early Middle Ages, contribute signed articles to the Thesaurus, have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative international research project in a collegial environment, and work with senior scholars in the field of Latin lexicography. The Fellowship carries a stipend in the amount of $50,400, and is made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The incumbent Fellow may re-apply for a second year, but all applications will be judged on an equal footing.

Applicants must (i) be United States citizens or permanent residents and (ii) already have the Ph.D. or anticipate the award of the degree by July 1, 2012. The opportunity to be trained in lexicography and contribute articles to be published in the lexicon may be of special interest to scholars who are already established in tenure-track positions, as well as those who are just entering the profession. The Fellowship offers valuable experience for scholars in a variety of specialties (e.g., Latin language and literature, Roman law, Roman history, the literature of early Christianity); although it is not limited to individuals working in Latin philology, applicants should possess a thorough familiarity with and a special interest in the Latin language, as well as advanced competence in Greek. It is anticipated that applicants will already have a reading knowledge of German and will be willing to work toward proficiency in spoken German. Women and members of minority groups underrepresented in Classics are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a statement of what benefits the applicant expects to derive from the Fellowship for his/her research and teaching, and the names of three referees, whom the applicant should ask to send supporting letters to the Executive Director of the American Philological Association without further notice. It will be in the candidate’s interest if at least one letter can specifically address the candidate’s suitability for the Fellowship. Candidates will be considered by the APA’s TLL Fellowship Committee, which serves as the selection committee. The committee will choose a short-list of candidates to be invited for interview at the Annual Meeting in January 2012 in Philadelphia, and the name of the successful candidate will be announced shortly thereafter. Applications must be received by the deadline of Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Applications must be submitted via regular mail or courier. Materials sent via FAX or e-mail will not be accepted.

Applications should be sent to Dr. Adam D. Blistein, Executive Director, American Philological Association, University of Pennsylvania, 220 South 40th Street, Suite 201E, Philadelphia PA 19104-3512.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA – MINNEAPOLIS, MN

Post-Doctoral Associate in Papyrology / Research Specialist in Papyrology

The Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies (CNES) at the University of Minnesota, in association with the School of Physics and Astronomy (University of Minnesota) and the Oxyrhynchus Papyri Project (Oxford University) seeks a post-doctoral fellow in papyrology for two years.  The successful candidate, who will be based in Minnesota, will work with an international team using online tools to engage a distributed volunteer community of "citizen papyrologists" in transcribing a large number of papyrus texts written in ancient Greek.

The collections of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri project (www.papyrology.ox.ac.uk) are a rich resource. Previous work to transcribe them en masse relied on image processing techniques that were unable to recover reliable Greek text. The problem faced in classifying and transcribing large numbers of the papyri is one of pattern recognition, a task to which the human brain is well suited. By using a flexible web-based interface, the job of transcribing is shared not only with a small number of scholars, but also with a force of volunteers spread around the globe.  The web interface is already under development at Oxford and will be hosted through the Zooniverse citizen science portal (http://www.zooniverse.org). The Minnesota post-doctoral fellow will be joining a small team working to ensure that data produced by volunteer transcribers is useful to papyrological scholars.

This is a two-year, grant-funded, full-time appointment beginning August 29, 2011.

The post-doctoral fellow will play a pivotal role in managing the citizen science project, interpreting the ensuing data, and contributing to graduate education and departmental activities in CNES.  Responsibilities will include:

• Collaboration with Drs. Dirk Obbink and James Brusuelas (Oxford) and the Zooniverse team (at the University of Minnesota and elsewhere) to support citizen researchers, collate results, and prepare material for publication

• Collaboration with UMN scientists and computational statisticians in their efforts to apply computational algorithms to the character strings produced by the citizen science interface.

• Supervision of graduate research assistants in CNES

• Teaching one advanced course per year in CNES

• Visits to Oxford to meet with the papyrology team there and examine the Oxyrhynchus materials in person

• Presentation of interim results at major scholarly meetings

Candidates must hold a PhD in Classics, Ancient History, or related fields, with a focus on papyrology.  Experience working with papyrological collections is essential.  Experience working with digital images and large databases is preferred, but not required.

Exceptional candidates who are ABD with a completion date in the near future will also be considered; these candidates would be appointed as Research Specialists and MUST APPLY FOR THAT POSITION, not the post-doctoral position.

All candidates should submit a letter of application and CV using the online system (see below) by July 18, 2011.  Applicants should arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted by the application deadline.  Applications received by July 18, 2011 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.
