Stellenausschreibung: 2 Postdoctoral Researchers (100%, E13 TV-L, 2 ½ years) in History of Science in Qing China
The Chair for Sinology with a focus on the Intellectual and Cultural History of China — Institute for Near Eastern and East Asian Languages and Civilizations — at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) invites applications for two Postdoctoral Researchers (f/m/d) with an interest in the global history of the mathematical sciences in China during the Qing dynasty.
The positions are part of the interdisciplinary project “The Language of Algorithmic Mathematics” funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2/2021–1/2026). Although this project has a digital humanities component, we also welcome research that focuses on small corpora of texts or specific mathematical domains from a linguistic, epistemological or a mathematical perspective.
