                The Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO)

conducts comparative research on historical and cultural developments of the

area between the Baltic, the Black, and the Adriatic Seas from Antiquity to

the present. The broad geographical scope of the institute's research area

requires scholars to adopt comparative, interdisciplinary, transnational

methods while maintaining a comprehensive perspective over this entire

historical period from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the

contemporary era. The GWZO is a member of the Leibniz Association and an

affiliate institution of Leipzig University and employs scholars from around

the world.



Within the GWZO's Man and Environment division, the research project on The

Dantean Anomaly 1309-21 (https://dantean.hypotheses.org/), funded by a VW

Freigeist Fellowship, focuses on the sociocultural impacts of rapid climate

change on human society and reconstructing climate patterns using both the

written record and natural proxy data. For this research, we are looking to
