Description de poste
  • You have a Research Master’s or Master’s degree in Philosophy, Arts or another relevant subject, obtained with excellent study results (or will have it before the start of the employment).
  • You meet the conditions for admission to the doctoral program of the Institute of Philosophy (https : / / hiw.kuleuven.be / en / research / phd / doctoralprogramme#section-0).
  • Excellent knowledge of both Latin and ancient Greek is mandatory.
  • Good command of academic English.
  • You are interested not only in philology and text editing, but also in the history of medieval philosophy.
  • Knowledge of (Latin / Greek) paleography is a plus.

    • The PhD researcher will study the natural philosophical treatise De memoria and its contribution to medieval philosophy. Central in the research is the 13th-century Latin translation of Aristotle’s De memoria (part of the Parva Naturalia), made by James of Venice and William of Moerbeke. You are expected to critically edit one of these translations according to the standards of the Aristoteles Latinus series, which implies not only a study of the Latin tradition but also of its Greek sources. In addition, you are expected to study the reception of this text in medieval thought, specifically in the form of marginalia.

    More information about the project or about the Aristoteles Latinus project can be requested by e-mail.
