Postdoc vacancy, Climate History; Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe
The Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) <br>conducts comparative research on historical and cultural developments of the <br>area between the Baltic, the Black, and the Adriatic Seas from Antiquity to <br>the present. The broad geographical scope of the institute's research area <br>requires scholars to adopt comparative, interdisciplinary, transnational <br>methods while maintaining a comprehensive perspective over this entire <br>historical period from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the <br>contemporary era. The GWZO is a member of the Leibniz Association and an <br>affiliate institution of Leipzig University and employs scholars from around <br>the world. <br> <br>Within the GWZO's Man and Environment division, the research project on The <br>Dantean Anomaly 1309-21 (https://dantean.hypotheses.org/), funded by a VW <br>Freigeist Fellowship, focuses on the sociocultural impacts of rapid climate <br>change on human society and reconstructing climate patterns using both the <br>written record and natural proxy data. For this research, we are looking to <br>fill the position of a <br> <br>postdoctoral researcher <br> <br>at the 13 TV-L (100%) salary level. The position will last from 1 February <br>2020 until 31 October 2021 (in accordance with stipulations of the <br>WissZeitVG). <br> <br>Your Tasks <br> <br>- independent research on climate history of the Middle East in the 13th and <br>14th centuries based on edited and, if necessary, archival sources; <br>-conception of a research project-generally speaking for the advancement of an <br>academic career (Habilitation, second book)-and presentation of the ongoing <br>project and final results both within the institute and beyond; <br>- close interdisciplinary cooperation with the members of the junior research <br>group and a willingness to collaborate with scholars in the earth sciences. <br> <br>Your Profile <br> <br>- very good master's degree (or equivalent) and doctoral degree in the <br>humanities or cultural studies, preferably Middle Eastern studies, especially <br>Arabic studies, history, or archeology; <br>- a good command of English and Arabic, both spoken and written; knowledge of <br>German is preferable; <br>- a familiarity with the methods of the Digital Humanities is advantageous, <br>especially GIS and/or text corpora analysis, as well as at least cursory <br>knowledge of environmental history. <br> <br>The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with the professor <br>of Islamic studies (Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Martin Luther <br>University Halle-Wittenberg) and to participate in events at the GWZO. <br> <br>The GWZO actively pursues the goal of vocational equality for women and men; <br>women are expressly encouraged to apply. Severely disabled persons are <br>likewise encouraged to apply and will be given preference in the case of equal <br>suitability. <br> <br>Applications should include the usual documents (CV/transcripts/etc.) along <br>with a project description of app. 1000 words; they should be submitted per <br>email by 8 December 2019 to the director of the GWZO (Prof. Dr. Christian <br>Lbke): bewerbung@leibniz-gwzo.de. <br> <br>Applying by email is associated with a risk of data theft.
