Dear Buddhism scholars,
The following announcement might be of interest
for some of you:
_Käte Hamburger Fellowships for Research on
(Trans-)Formation of Religious Traditions_
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg
"Dynamics in the History of Religions between Asia and Europe" at Ruhr
University Bochum, Germany, invites applications for research on
(trans-)formation of religious traditions in the context of intra- and
interreligious contact during the academic year October 2014 through September
2015.
What we can offer:
* Time and space for research in an
interdisciplinary environment;
* up to 70,000 € (= about 95,000 $) (gross
rate) either as a grant or as a salary for the fellow's substitute at his or her
home institution;
* good infrastructure (libraries etc.); travel expenses
related to research activities;
* means for organizing congresses or
workshops.
What we would expect:
* Research on processes of
shaping and condensation, invention and narration of religious traditions in the
context of intra- and interreligious contact;
* your presence during the
fellowship term;
* committed participation in the consortium's
activities;
* substantial research results in form of
publications.
The retrospective and relational construct "tradition" is
important in the religious field and in Religious Studies in terms of e.g.
identifiablity, adaptability, translatability, comparability etc. of religions.
We invite projects focusing on any period from ancient to contemporary, which
address aspects of encounter, conceptual construction and historical
reconstruction, mutual exchange, formation and transformation of religious
traditions in comparative case studies and/or from systematic
perspectives.
Applicants must at least hold a Ph.D. The Ruhr University
Bochum is an equal opportunity employer and encourages women and members of
minorities to apply.
Interested applicants should send a letter of
interest, a current CV including a list of publications, and an exposé of the
intended research of about 5 pages. Application materials should be submitted by
e-mail. Please send your application before March 15th, 2014 to Brigitte
Guthmann (brigitte.guthmann@rub.de).
