The successful candidate will join the research laboratory directed by Dr. Enrico Piergiacomi and conduct independent and collaborative research under the project Digital Atomism: Democritus and the Democritean Tradition.\r\n\r\nThe goal of the project is to conduct cutting-edge research on the earliest phase of atomism, namely Leucippus, Democritus, and the Democriteans (including but not limited to key figures like Anaxarchus, Metrodorus of Chios, and Nausiphanes), as well as in its subsequent reception. These thinkers not only laid the groundwork for the atomistic theories of Epicurus and Lucretius, but also served as a source of inspiration for corpuscular theories espoused by influential figures such as Francis Bacon, Galileo Galilei, and Pierre Gassendi. Their ideas also exerted a pervasive influence on various seemingly disparate intellectual strands, including scepticism (exemplified by Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus), alchemy, libertinism, and even Marxism.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the project seeks to create a digital platform that will host a new collection of evidence on the ancient atomists and edit\/translate texts of the Renaissance\/early modern period that were directly influenced by these thinkers. An example is Giovanni Magneno\u2019s Democritus reviviscens sive de atomis (Paris 1646). A list of desirable texts to be studied can be provided in advance.\r\n\r\nThe research focus is open, insofar as it is established a clear connection between ancient atomism and the candidate\u2019s area of interest. Broadly conceived, the successful candidates will foster interdisciplinary collaborations that link the humanities to science and technology. Preferences will be given to students\/scholars who have a good command of Greek and Latin, as well as who can work on both the ancient period and the Renaissance\/early modern period.\r\n\r\nThe ability and desire to conduct independent research are essential. A publication record in a pertinent field is highly desirable.\r\n\r\nStipend: $11,800 living stipend (around $2,950 monthly), plus up to $1,200 reimbursement of airfare expenses.\r\nPlease send by July 24 to Enrico Piergiacomi (enrico.p@technion.ac.il) with CC to Anat Glass (anatg@technion.ac) the following material:\r\n\u2022 CV, including a list of publications (if any);\r\n\u2022 Sample of written work;\r\n\u2022 A research proposal (2-3 pages, bibliography excluded);\r\n\u2022 2 letters of recommendation.\r\n\r\n
