Call for Applications: Doctoral study scholarships 2022/2023

Not exactly archaeology but field-adjacent. PhD scholarship opportunity in Jerusalem for translation studies in the Indonesian-Malay world.

The European Research Council (ERC) project Textual Microcosms: A New Approach in Translation Studies is offering Doctoral study scholarships beginning in October 2022. The program is located at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the direction of Prof. Ronit Ricci

Successful candidates will be part of a unique interdisciplinary team. The project combines approaches from the fields of history, religious studies, literature, art history, linguistics, and philology.  It focuses on interlinear translations, texts in one language that include a translation into another written between the lines,  as practiced between the 16^th-20^th centuries in the Indonesian-Malay World (encompassing present-day Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, southern Thailand, the southern Philippines, and diasporic communities in South Africa and Sri Lanka). The project employs the interlinear translation as a theoretical and methodological framework to study religious, intellectual, linguistic, and artistic elements of a culture as they intersect, connect, and diverge on the page. It is a framework that invites exploring these interconnections from global, regional, and local perspectives by “reading between the lines” of such translations, both concretely and metaphorically.
