PhD Economic and Political integration in the Roman Empire

3 maanden geleden


Groningen, Nederland University of Groningen Voltijd
Job description

Applications are invited for a fully-funded four-year PhD position in the field of Roman History and Archaeology. The prevised project focuses on wealth concentration and political integration of the provincial elites in the Roman empire.

Recent research suggests that the elites from a few particular provinces were preferentially integrated into the top political networks of the Roman Empire (the senate at Rome). There is a clear relationship between access to these political networks and the accumulation of large personal wealth. This PhD project explores the broader socio-economic context in which these elites were accumulating the required capital for entry into the Roman senate. The core of the project constitutes a comparison of the socio-economic background of elite wealth accumulation in two Roman provinces: the politically well-integrated province Hispania Baetica and the politically less-integrated province Hispania Tarraconensis. For these two provinces, the project investigates the level of regional economic integration (using for example settlement hierarchies and/or infrastructural networks) and the demographic/agricultural structure (using, for example, field survey or site excavation data). The project results will provide a detailed framework to understand the regional variation in wealth accumulation and political participation across the Roman empire. A more elaborate description of the project framework is available upon request (see contact details below).

Under the joint supervision of Dr Tymon de Haas (Archaeology) and Dr Bart Danon (Ancient History), with Prof. Tesse Stek as the professor of record, the successful candidate will develop their own specific focus within these broad parameters, depending on the candidate’s disciplinary background, interests and research experience.

Expectations of the candidate:

  • Engage in regular meetings with supervisors to discuss the PhD project development.
  • Write three publishable articles/chapters, with supervisory guidance.
  • Complete PhD project within 4 years.
  • Attend and present ongoing research at conferences, colloquia, summer/winter schools.
  • Participate in the activities of OIKOS (the National Research School in Classical Studies).
  • Teach a total of 0.4 FTE spread over the second, third and fourth year of their appointment within the BA History and/or Archaeology programs.
  • Move to Groningen or its immediate environs.
