I write with the good news that I have been awarded funds from the Mellon Foundation to support a postdoctoral position, starting September 2013 and continuing through August 2014.  The details of the position are laid out below.  The successful applicant will be based at Saint Louis University (SLU), where they will have access to the Vatican Film Library Collection (http://libraries.slu.edu/special_collections/vfl) and where they will work with the team of scholars and programmers affiliated with the Center for Digital Theology (https://www.slu.edu/x27122.xml).  The postdoc will be engaged in producing a "born-digital" edition of the Antidotarium magnum, a large (really, massive!) Latin compendium of medical recipes compiled in the last quarter of the 11th century.  For more information on the text-editing program that will be employed for the project, see here:  http://t-pen.org/TPEN/.

As noted below, queries can be directed either to me or to the postdoc's other sponsor, James Ginther at SLU.  The formal application needs to be submitted through SLU, as noted below.  Eligibility is not limited to U.S. citizens; however, applicants who are not already citizens or permanent residents would need to be responsible for making any necessary arrangements for permission to work in the U.S., since no extra funds are available to cover that expense.
