Professor Elisabeth Dutton invites applications for the following two positions at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, to work on the Early Drama at Oxford (EDOX) project: for more information about this project see: http://edox.org.uk
The successful candidates will between them be expected to contribute to EDOX’s work of researching, translating, staging, editing, and creating online films and editions of plays originally written and performed in Oxford in the late-medieval and early modern periods.
The posts will be based at the University of Fribourg and will include research time in Oxford. (The salaries will be on the highly competitive Swiss academic scale). The doctoral assistant will be expected to write a doctoral thesis on some aspect of Early Drama at Oxford during the appointment.
For the doctoral assistant position, candidates must have an MA degree or equivalent in either medieval or early modern English, or Classics
For the post-doctoral position, candidates must have
- a completed and awarded doctorate in medieval /early modern literature
- an excellent research profile in some aspect of early theatre
For both positions, the following are also desirable:
- experience in administration and conference organization
- expertise in web page design and/or text encoding
- experience in archival research
- practical experience in theatre and/or film
- excellent Latin
Although the English domain functions in English, a level of French and/or German which would facilitate communication with other domains might be an advantage (it is not essential, however).
Applications should include a CV, and a covering letter explaining interest in the positions, and should clearly indicate to which post they relate.
