RESEARCH FELLOW ON THE PAUL COMMENTARIES PROJECT
A research fellow is being sought to work on a new project scheduled
to begin this autumn analysing the biblical text of the earliest
commentaries on the Pauline Epistles in Greek and Latin.
The research fellow will be a member of a team led by Dr Hugh Houghton
and based at the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic
Editing in Birmingham ( www.birmingham.ac.uk/itsee ). He or she will
examine early biblical commentaries of the fourth and fifth centuries,
comparing them with their manuscript tradition and related works. The
work will involve identifying and adding relevant material to the
project database and making electronic transcriptions of primary
sources.
Candidates should have a doctoral degree in a relevant subject,
excellent linguistic ability in Latin or Greek and very good computer
skills. As it says in the advertisement, an eye for detail and good
self-motivation to persist with repetitive and sometimes tedious text-
critical work are essential!
The post is full-time and fixed-term, initially for three years. The
closing date is 14th September 2011.
