An additional grant of 2250,- Euro for expenses on travel and research and a grant of 850,- Euro for the printing of the dissertation will be attached to the scholarship. Prospective candidates are requested to get in touch with the chairs of the field for which they want to make a proposal, who will gladly provide them with further information. The posts will be awarded after a critical and competitive evaluation of all the applications received. Applications should include a CV, research-proposal and the names of three referees and must be sent before 1 March 2002 and should be addressed to the respective chairpersons. In all three fields the staff=92s research is characterized by a certain emphasis on processes and periods of transition. Proposals which contain a similar focus are particularly welcome, but all proposals in the three fields will be considered. In Greek the proposed research should preferably concern Hellenistic poetry (III-I BC), and the proposals may focus on (a) individual authors, (b) literary theory, the social and ideological function of Hellenistic poetry or the specific character of Hellenistic poetry as reception of earlier Greek literature and object of reception in Roman poetry. In Latin, the proposed research should preferably be in the period of the Early Empire (Augustus through the second century), and be concerned with one of the following themes: the reception of Hellenistic in Roman poetry; the Roman novel; social and ideological functions of literature in the Roman world; literary theory (ancient and modern). In Ancient History we shall consider proposals on any topic within the field, but we would especially welcome proposals on: 1: The Greek city in transition (300 bc-ad 300) - social, political and cultural aspects 2: Social and economic history of the Roman Empire 3: Late Antiquity.
