Its that time of year! Famous 2-year post-doc opportunity at the Oriental Institute Chicago. (Not forgetting that the resulting conference paper publications are available for download) The Oriental Institute yearly appoints a Post-Doctoral Scholar for a twenty-four month (non-renewable) appointment. Post-Doctoral Scholars are selected from an international pool of applicants, based on their proposals to organize a two-day conference at the Oriental Institute. The conferences address important theoretical or methodological issues in the field of ancient studies — archaeological, text-based, and/or art historical avenues of research. The Oriental Institute encourages cross-disciplinary proposals that deal with the ancient Near East (including Egypt) or that compare the Near East with other cultural areas. The conferences generally have 12–16 participants, and take place annually in the beginning of March during the first year of the Post-Doctoral Scholar’s appointment. Following the conference, the Post-Doctoral Scholar assembles and edits the proceedings for publication in the Oriental Institute Seminar series. During the second year of the appointment, the Post-Doctoral Scholar will assist in organizing a series of faculty seminars at the Oriental Institute and other activities that build interaction and collaboration within the scholarly community. The Post-Doctoral Scholar is expected to pursue his or her own research while in residence and to interact closely with the Oriental Institute community. The Post-Doctoral Scholar may also, if he or she wishes, teach a course while in residence if approved by the OI/NELC faculty. Potential applicants should take into consideration the research interests represented by the Oriental Institute, and are encouraged to review the descriptions and programs of previous successful proposals (see below) when preparing their applications.
