Subject: Research Assistantships

CEBHEM / Orientalisches Seminar
Tuebingen University, Germany
invites applications for two doctoral research fellowships (3 years each)
to be held at the recently established “Centre for the Economic and
Business History of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East
(CEBHEM)”. Appointments will start from 01.10.2000. Remuneration will be
approx. DM 2.000 p.month net (plus generous travel and equipment
allowances).

Eligibility: ideal candidates would be outstanding graduates (minimum
requirement: M.A. to be awarded in Summer 2000) from the fields of Middle
Eastern and/or Mediterranean Studies, History, Anthropology, Sociology,
Geography or Economics, provided they have an interest in archival
research. Languages required: Arabic, Ottoman-Turkish, French, Italian (for
one position also Greek or Armenian).

Research will focus, technically, on archival studies in the region and,
conceptually, on processes of incorporation of the Eastern Mediterranean
and the Middle East in the world exchange during the 18th-early 20th
centuries, more specifically on "Incorporation, minorities and diasporas"
and "Entrepreneurs and the Ottoman state". Transdisciplinary approaches in
dealing with these topics are strongly encouraged. It is recommended that
supervision be conducted jointly by Orientalisches Seminar and the
candidate's home institution. Students may apply for permission to write
their thesis in a language other than German.

by 15.06.2000. In summer 2000 up to three candidates for each of the
positions will be invited for an interview. The definitive decision will be
communicated by 30.07.2000 at the latest.
