Description de poste

Project

BICROSS is an interdisciplinary project linking Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Gothic, Armenian and Arabic philology, New Testament textual criticism, manuscript studies, ancient history and digital humanities. The project investigates bilingual New Testament manuscripts from the 4th century to the 15th century. It aims at establishing the significance of bilingual manuscripts for the formation and transmission of New Testament texts by uncovering mutual exchange and cross-language interaction through a multilingual approach. The project assesses bilingual manuscripts as artefacts (codicology) and analyse their texts by means of digital tools in order to classify their readings and relationships.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will contribute to the project’s objective of assessing bilingual NT manuscript by means of digital tools of digital tools in order to conduct cross-language examinations and interpretations. The work of the candidate is expected to build directly on the candidate’s previous knowledge and expertise.

The successful candidate will

  • assess bilingual manuscripts using digital tools within an individually designed work package that reflects the candidate’s prior computational research and experience with New Testament manuscripts.
  • explore and, where appropriate, develop digital tools tailored to the specific needs of a bilingual tradition.
  • investigate and compare bilingual manuscripts textually, including morphological, syntactic, and semantic analyses. This may involve digitally transcribing, studying, and analysing bilingual manuscripts and their text using electronic transcription tools and databases.
  • work independently to achieve the project's goals.
  • present research findings at international and national conferences and colloquia and publish research results at the highest scientific level.

  • has experience in digital humanities and is familiar with standard programming languages, including Python and Java.
  • has experience with encoding standards for electronic transcriptions in TEI and XML format and is familiar with Natural Language Processing (NLP) modules, grammatical taggers and syntactical parsers. Additional knowledge of technologies for analysing New Testament manuscripts would be advantageous (e.g. phylogenetics).
  • has an excellent command of Greek and at least one other major language of the project, ideally more, to compare bilingual texts on equal footing.
  • has significant experience with working in the field of manuscript studies and textual criticism, including codicology, and is familiar with the tedious scrutiny of variant readings. Experience with manuscript databases, digital platforms and tools is desirable.
