<span lang="EN-US" style="color:windowtext">we invite potential candidates to express interest for the three-year PhD research project described in the attached word document. We are looking for a candidate wanting to focus on Roman History and Archaeology.
The PhD project would be financially supported by Macquarie and Groningen Universities as part of a cotutelle joint PhD programme, sitting alongside another PhD student working on “infrastructural networks and economic integration around Rome” at Macquarie
and Groningen; as well as being integrated into larger research networks based in Australasia and Europe. The project would include a period of fieldwork in Italy. Further information is attached, but for further details – please contact
