**PhD position within the project ‘Libraries as Links in Learning: Making the Meaning of Manuscripts’ (1.0 fte, 4 years)**

**The project**

To analyse the varied uses of and attitudes towards the medieval manuscript collections, we will construct and assess the networks of which they were part. Alongside examining the manuscripts themselves for traces of contemporary use, the project will gather data regarding personages (scholars, librarians), objects (published outputs derived from the study of manuscripts, facsimiles, photos) and sites (the physical building, the institutional context in which the Library operated), to reconstruct and analyse the environments in which manuscripts were consulted, circulated, and canonised.

**PhD position: Library professionalization from a manuscript perspective**
- and early twentieth-century library contexts, using Leiden University Library as its principal case study. They will collect and enter relevant data into a shared project database while tracking down publications and editions that utilised the UB’s manuscript material. On the basis of extensive source research, they will attempt to reconstruct the environments within which the medieval manuscripts were consulted, the scholarly conversations they provoked, and the responsibilities and challenges the custodians faced. We anticipate that the outputs of the PhD student will lead to an enhanced understanding of the interplay between the contexts in which manuscripts were used, and the meaning attached to them in scholarly work and in the eyes of society.

**Key responsibilities**
- You will complete a PhD thesis within four years;
- You will contribute to the project’s bibliographical and relational database by collecting and entering relevant metadata from the UB archives and holdings, and other relevant sources;
- You will conduct research on the professionalisation of Leiden’s University Library within its wider European scholarly context, and the position of the medieval manuscript in that process
- You will publicise your research in peer-reviewed journals or volumes, and at conferences in the Netherlands and internationally;
- You will participate in regular meetings of the project research group;
- You will participate in the training programme of the LUCAS Institute, the Leiden Graduate School of Humanities, the Dutch National Research School for Medieval Studies, and other relevant masterclasses, summer schools, seminars, workshops, and events;
- You will participate in the PhD community and the intellectual life of the Institute (Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society, LUCAS), in which you will become a member of the Medieval and Early Modern cluster (MEM);
- You will contribute to the organisation of outreach activities within the project, and in the popularisation of research results;
- Subject to progress and demand, you will do some teaching in the second and third year of your PhD project, in line with your expertise and prior experience.

**Your profile**
- You hold a ResMA/MRes or MA with a specialisation in History, Medieval Studies, Historical Literatures, Classical Studies, Digital Humanities (with relevant specialisation), Book Studies or Library Studies;
- You have well-developed research skills, including the ability to formulate creative research questions, descriptive and analytical skills, and a clear and persuasive style of writing;
- You have an interest in the history of the humanities, and a willingness to conduct archival and manuscript research;
- You have experience with or are willing to learn about relational databases and Linked Data;
- You have full professional working proficiency in English and/or Dutch (speaking, writing, reading). Competencies in other European languages and reading competencies in Latin would be appreciated;
- You have proven time-management skills;
- You are a team player and independent thinker;
- You have the ability to finish the proposed PhD research in 4 years.

**The organisation**

Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society (LUCAS) is one of the seven Academic Institutes of the Faculty of Humanities. The institute hosts a range of academic disciplines, clustered around a key research theme: the relationships between the arts and society. Our members study cultural production over the course of two millennia, from classical antiquity to our contemporary world, and teach in programmes ranging from Classics and Book History to Modern Literature, International Studies and Art History. Strengthened by our diversity, LUCAS members are uniquely placed to study the broad concept of the arts, with its rapidly changing ideas, aesthetics, and theories of cultural production. Through research, teaching and outreach, the Institute aims to deepen our understanding, both inside and ou
