2 weken geleden
About VU Amsterdam
We are a leading research university in the Netherlands, with a strong focus on education and research. Our mission is to contribute to a better world by providing high-quality education and conducting cutting-edge research. At VU Amsterdam, you will be part of a diverse and inclusive community that values collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
About the Position
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team as a Globalization Historian in the Ancient Roman Context. The successful candidate will be part of a four-year project that aims to investigate the impact of globalization on the socio-economic system of the Roman Empire. The project will employ cutting-edge computational methods for 'big data' analysis and simulation modelling to integrate bottom-up, data-driven archaeological analyses with top-down, theory-driven socio-economic models of globalisation.
Job Description
The PhD student will be responsible for the collection and analysis of available archaeological and palaeo-environmental data of the study region, focusing on economic and demographic indicators of globalization. The research questions to be answered include the demographic trajectory of the region, the development of the region's economy over time, and the impact of globalisation on regional socio-economic dynamics. The PhD student will also contribute to the development of transferable and open methods for modelling large-scale questions on past economies applicable to other regions and timeframes.
Required Skills and Qualifications
- RMA degree or equivalent: In Roman provincial archaeology, preferably with a focus on the Netherlands
- Geo-data management and spatial and statistical analysis: Demonstrable experience with geo-data management and spatial and statistical analysis of archaeological and preferably also palaeo-environmental data (geoarchaeology, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany)
- Scripting skills: Desirable: experience with scripting (in Python and/or R)
- Interdisciplinary research: Demonstrable interest in interdisciplinary, collaborative research
- Languages: Ability to read Dutch (desirable: German and French)
Benefits
- Salary: We offer a salary of €30.00 gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment
- Employment contract: A full-time employment contract of initially 1 year. If there is sufficient perspective, this will be extended to a total of 4 years. Your dissertation at the end of the fourth year forms the end of your employment contract.
- Holiday leave entitlement: A full-time 38-hour working week comes with a holiday leave entitlement of 96 hours per year. If you choose to work 40 hours, you have 96 extra holiday leave hours on an annual basis.
- Extra benefits: We also offer you attractive fringe benefits and arrangements, including an 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus, a solid pension scheme (ABP), a wide range of sports facilities which staff may use at a modest charge, and an optional model for designing a personalized benefits package.
About the Project
The project will focus on the Dutch part of the Lower Rhine region, which played a crucial role in protecting the Empire's military and economic interests between the 1st-3rd century CE. The project will investigate three main elements: the integration of the local ('rural'), regional ('provincial') and supra-regional ('imperial') socio-economic system, the role of taxation, appropriation of natural resources and military investment by the Roman Empire in shaping and maintaining this system, and the effects of external, 'global' events on its long-term socio-economic resilience.
How to Apply
We are looking for a highly motivated and talented individual who is passionate about the study of globalization in the Roman Empire. If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please submit your application, including your CV, a covering letter, and a statement of research interests. We look forward to receiving your application.
