Call for Applications Theme: The dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in Ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic thought Type: Doctoral Fellowships Institution: Research Training Group 'Philosophy, Science and the Sciences', Humboldt University Location: Berlin (Germany) Date: 2014–2017 Deadline: 9.6.2014 __________________________________________________ Research Training Group 'Philosophy, Science and the Sciences' starting in October 2014, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Apply by 9 June 2014 for - the three-year doctoral program or - one year of pre-doctoral studies to begin in October 2014. The Research Training Group 'Philosophy, Science and the Sciences' (http://www.gsap.hu-berlin.de) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (http://www.hu-berlin.de) is pleased to offer a number of fellowships for doctoral studies in Ancient Philosophy and Science. The overarching aim of the program is to studythe dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy and science (including its medieval and early modern reception). It brings together philosophers, classicists, Arabists and historians of science. We are interested in hosting doctoral projects in any of these fields which relate in some way to our overarching aim. We do not expect doctoral students to deal with more than one special science and are open to many different kinds of connections between philosophy and science. The fellowships cover the living costs at Berlin and 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 include a ticket for public transport in Berlin). Students may also apply for a funded pre-doctoral year of studies. Typical candidates for this option are students who need one year of preparation before beginning their dissertation, for instance candidates who hold a BA but not an MA in philosophy or classics. Qualification Program Students in the program normally go through the curriculum of the Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy, which leads to the doctoral degree in Philosophy or Classics. (http://berliner-antike-kolleg.org/graduate-school-bergsas/prom/aphil/) It includes colloquia, dissertation seminars, reading groups, international workshops, and intensive short courses. The program centers on the writing of a doctoral dissertation (in English or German). The language of instruction is English. When appropriate, students might follow the curriculum of the program 'History of Science' instead (http://berliner-antike-kolleg.org/graduate-school-bergsas/prom/histas/). Both programs are part of the Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS), which is embedded in a lively community of scholars and institutions (such as the Excellence Cluster Topoi) all devoted to ancient studies. BerGSAS offers structured programs of doctoral studies and involves the participation of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin and a number of non-university research institutions. (http://berliner-antike-kolleg.org/bergsas/) The international Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) Students of the program are automatically part of the international Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) founded by the Graduate Program. Its international partners are among the foremost departments in the world for ancient and late ancient philosophy and science. Applications The closing date for applications for the fellowships is 9 June 2014. Interviews will be held in Berlin during the week 23-27 June 2014. Candidates from overseas will not need to travel to Berlin for an interview. Please note: Applicants who applied in the previous round (January 2014) can reapply by just sending a statement (e-mail address below) that they apply for the Research Training Group, together with a revised exposé of their dissertation project according to the RTG's scope. We will reassess their application on the basis of the material they have already submitted with their previous online application.
