Offer Description
Are you getting or have already received an MA in Ancient or Medieval History, Art History, Byzantine Studies, Classics, Cultural Heritage Studies, Medieval Studies, Philology (Arabic, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, or Latin), Religious Studies, or Studies in Medievalism? Are you interested in participating in an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral programme of doctoral training recruiting a group of highly-competent fellows?
The StoryPharm consortium publishes a call for 19 PhD fellowships within the training programme “Storytelling as Pharmakon in Premodernity and Beyond: Training the New Generation of Researchers in Health Humanities”. The fellowships are funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action – Doctoral Networks, Grant Agreement 101169114.
All recruited doctoral fellows will become highly skilled cultural historians specialising in premodern intellectual and healthcare worlds. At the same time, they will acquire transferable skills allowing them to use, develop, and deploy cutting-edge approaches to storytelling and its ethical ramifications for scientific, professional, business, healthcare, and social purposes.
The following positions are available at Cardiff University:
“Early Byzantine Literature as Pharmakon: A Narratological Approach to Medical Writings”, Supervisor: Prof Laurence Totelin (totelinlm@cardiff.ac.uk)
This project will employ narratological approaches to any of the three following early Byzantine medical authors: Oribasios (4th c. CE), Aetios of Amida (6th c. CE), and Paul of Aegina (7th c. CE). The successful candidate will be enrolled in the Cardiff University School of History, Archaeology and Religion. The training includes a three-month academic secondment at the University of Salerno (UNI SALERNO) and a one-month non-academic secondment at AVVA Pharmaceuticals (Limassol).
