        Subject: Professorship of Papyrology and Digital Research into Ancient Written Documents

Dear Colleagues,

I send you the following on behalf of Prof. Hans Martin Kraemer
<hans.martin.kraemer@zo.uni-heidelberg.de> at Heidelberg University, Germany:

The Faculty of Philosophy at Heidelberg University invites applications for a

W 3-Professorship of Papyrology and Digital Research into Ancient Written
Documents (f/m/d)

to be filled as of October 1, 2025.

It is planned to assign the professorship to the Heidelberg Center for Digital
Humanities (HCDH) and will be equipped with its own resources. HCDH works
closely in connection with the Center for Ancient Studies.

The focus of the professorship is to curate and further explore the second
largest papyrus collection in Germany, to continue and further develop the
digital projects established in Heidelberg and essential for the field of
studies worldwide, and to perform research in the area of digital heritage. An
aim is to raise the profile of research and teaching in the field of digital
working methods as applied to ancient written documents.

Close collaboration with the Center for Ancient Studies in research and teaching
is expected, in particular the integration into existing and future study
programs. On top of this the ability to use and expand digital methods in the
research of ancient written documents and to make them usable within the
framework of the HCDH and beyond is desired. A focus in research on editing and
interpreting Greek papyrological sources, including digital editions, and a
research interest in the further development of digital presentation and
accessibility formats is required. Experience in using text databases as a basis
for further digital editions, their creation and further development as well as
in the acquisition of third-party funding is also an advantage.

Prerequisites for application are, in particular, a university degree, an
excellent PhD, and evidence of successful teaching ability and experience. A
”habilitation” or, alternatively, a positively evaluated junior professorship, a
second book, a tenured professorship or equivalent qualifications are additional
requirements (in accordance with article 47, paragraph 2 of the Higher Education
Law of the state of Baden-Württemberg).

The application deadline is April 15, 2024. Please send your application with a
curriculum vitae, a list of publications and courses as well as your five most
important publications (application documents summarized in one PDF file, the
publications as five separate PDF files) to the Dean of the Faculty of
Philosophy, Heidelberg University, Voßstr. 2, Gebäude 37, 69115 Heidelberg,
E-mail: <mailto:philosophische.fakultaet@uni-heidelberg.de>.

Heidelberg University stands for equal opportunities and diversity. Qualified
female candidates are especially invited to apply. Persons with severe
disabilities will be given preference if they are equally qualified. Information
on job advertisements and the collection of personal data is available at
