The ERC project Local Law under Rome is offering two fully funded PhD degrees at the Hebrew University Department of Talmud for a period of up to five years. The research students participating in this project will dedicate their research to the study of early rabbinic law within its legal contexts (e.g. Roman, Hellenistic or Egyptian).
The successful candidate will be a part of a unique interdisciplinary team, alongside scholars of other local legal cultures, which will be engaged in comparative study of local legal cultures from a historical perspective. Together we seek to enhance the understanding of provincial legalism in its multiple manifestations.
The appointed fellow is expected to work closely with other team members. S/he will participate in the project’s ongoing activities and is expected to contribute to its collaborative outputs, produce project-related publications and provide materials for the comparative database.
Candidates must have:
❖ Proven experience in the research of rabbinic law and a genuine curiosity in other legal cultures
❖ Ability to participate in academic discussions in English
❖ An interest and ability to work in a team
Please submit the following files to the e-mail below (in one PDF file):
❖ Curriculum vitae (CV)
❖ Letter of application describing your motivation and qualifications (1-2 pages)
❖ Official academic transcripts and certificates (scanned copies)
❖ At least one writing sample (academic paper, essay, or publication)
In addition, please arrange for two Reference Letters to be sent directly to the email below.
