Stress», Sub-Project E02 «Agrarian Labour and Political Orders under  
Stress, 300-900 CE» invites applications for

2 PhD Positions
starting on 1 July 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Both positions are tenable for four years and will expire on 30 June  
2019. They will be remunerated according to the German civil service  
salary scale (TV-L 13, 65 % = ca. 28.000 € minimum annual salary,  
supplements depending on previous work experience).

Each of the two holders of the post will write a doctoral  
dissertation, supervised by Prof. Mischa Meier and Prof. Sebastian  
Schmidt-Hofner. The dissertations will explore the economic  
foundations of élite power in the Later Roman Empire. More  
specifically, they will look at the legal mechanisms, social practices  
and political decisions through which property-owners responded to the  
broader social and economic transformations of their times and  
resulting threats to their pre-eminence. One case study deals with the  
late fourth century, the other with the Justinianic period. The  
holders of the post will be asked to organize a conference on the  
theme of sub-project E02. They are also expected to participate at  
workshops and colloquia hosted by the Collaborative Research Center.  
For further questions, and in order to obtain a detailed outline of  
the sub-project, please contact the project leaders by email (see  
below).

Applicants should have an outstanding Master's Degree and knowledge of  
Greek and Latin. In the course of the project, they are expected to  
acquire an ability to read German, French and Italian scholarly  
literature and specialist skills in economic, monetary and legal  
history. A joint degree with another university is possible.

In case of equal qualification and experience physically challenged  
applicants are given preference. The University of Tuebingen aims at  
increasing the share of women in research and teaching; female  
scholars are thus especially encouraged to apply.

The deadline is 15 June 2015. Please send your applications (including  
CV, degree certificates, confirmation of Latin and Greek language  
skills and writing samples in a single pdf-file) and two letters of  
reference by email to:
