PhD positions in Medieval and Neo-Latin Studies (Prague)
New PhD opportunities in Medieval and Neo-Latin Studies, a collaboration between the Institute of Greek and Latin Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and the Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences. Deadline for application: 31 March 2025.
The Ph.D. programme explores the history of Latin literature and European culture, examining Latin’s role as a medium of expression from the fall of Rome through its transformation during the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque, culminating in its revival as a subject of scientific investigation and a component of modern European cultural life. Latin texts are studied from the perspectives of cultural history, literary studies, linguistics, palaeography and codicology, with special emphasis on developments in the Czech Lands. The programme is interdisciplinary, engaging with intellectual history, the history of religion, and the history of books. Doctoral students explore both theoretical and practical aspects of publishing Latin texts from the programme's historical scope and gain familiarity with digital humanities methodologies. This programme is available in both Czech and English.
