Position Title: Postdoctoral researcher in Roman Archaeology or Art History
Institution Name: University of Groningen
Position Rank: Other
Area of Specialty: Roman Art and Archaeology
Application Deadline: 2025-04-24

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position within the research project Roman Making and its Meanings: Representations of Manual Creation in the Literature and Art of Imperial Rome (FACERE) (https://facere.site), financed by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Prof. Bettina Reitz-Joosse.

The postdoctoral researcher will study representations of making in ancient Roman visual culture (e.g. depictions of craftsmen at work, mythical scenes of making, or depictions of making in sacred or military contexts). They will take into account (where applicable) how images interact with epigraphic frames and contexts of production and reception. The researcher is free to design, within this broad topic, a research project with a specific focus. Questions that might be addressed with regard to such representations include, but are not limited to:

• the (in-)visibility and agency of different kinds of makers (especially those belonging to underprivileged groups)
• social or collaborative aspects of making
• making as an embodied practice
• sacred or religious dimension of making
• intermedial and self-reflexive elements of ‘showing making’

The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a team which also includes the principal investigator, two junior researchers writing PhD theses on ‘making’ in Roman literature, and two research assistants who support the team. Together, we work towards a new understanding of the ethics and aesthetics of making in the Roman world. The position offers the opportunity to be part of an inspiring international university environment, to gain valuable research and teaching experience, and to collaborate with the other team members in the organisation of workshops and public engagement activities.

The appointment is for 0.8 fte (4 days a week), for a maximum of 36 months.

We are seeking candidates who focus on any period of ancient Greek and/or Roman archaeology from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity.

While the field of research is open, we seek candidates committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the past. Current participation in a field project is desirable but not required, although candidates will be expected to advise undergraduates on opportunities in archaeology. The teaching load is six on-campus courses for the academic year.

This Visiting Professor position is a full-time, nine-month position for the academic year 2025-2026 (from August 16, 2025, to May 15, 2026). Depending on departmental requirements, funding availability, and the candidate’s successful performance, there is a possibility of extending the position for up to two additional years.

Minimum Qualifications:

The PhD in Classical Studies, Classical Archaeology or related field must be in hand by the start date of appointment.

Preferred Qualifications:

We seek candidates who can teach a range of undergraduate courses on Mediterranean archaeology, including surveys of Greek and Roman archaeology. The ability to teach a course on mythology and to contribute to our curriculum in ancient Greek is desirable but not required.
