2 pre-docs, RELEVEN project, Wien

The ERC-funded RELEVEN project, led by Tara Andrews and hosted at the Institute for History of the University of Vienna, is seeking to fill two pre-doctoral academic posts. The aim of RELEVEN ("Re-Evaluating the Eleventh Century through Linked Events and Entities") is to cast a clearer light on the events of the "short eleventh century" (c.

1030-1095) and specifically to get a better understanding of the ways in which the Christian world was perceived by its inhabitants at the time, particularly in the eastern half of Christendom but also to the north, where the faith had rapidly been expanding.

The ideal candidate will have completed an MA or equivalent in medieval history with a focus on, and knowledge of the languages of, one of the following areas: Byzantium; the Caucasus; Syria and/or Egypt; Italy and/or Sicily; Central Europe and/or Russia.

The available positions are for 30h per week (0.75 FTE); pay is in accordance with the FWF salary scales.
