Post-docs, Helsinki

Team 1 of The Centre of Excellence in "œAncient Near Eastern Empires"

(ANEE) at the University of Helsinki is looking for postdocs in Digital Humanities and Ancient World

The Centre of Excellence in "Ancient Near Eastern Empires" (ANEE) at the University of Helsinki will run from 2018-2025 and is directed by Dr.

Saana Svård. ANEE asks: How do changing imperial dynamics impact social group identities and lifeways over a millennium? ANEE covers the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman / Parthian Empires. ANEE engages with methodologically varied yet integrated research on the long-term processes by which social group identities and lifeways were negotiated.

Team 1 "œDigital Humanities Approaches"� develops digital humanities approaches (especially social network analysis and language technology), using these to supplement the more traditional Assyriological approaches. Team 1 is looking for applicants with a solid background in Assyriology or a related field (preferably within the chronological scope of ANEE) and/or skills in Digital Humanities that can be put to use in relation to ANEE'™s goals. Team 1 is led by Saana Svård (saana.svard@helsinki.fi).
