Description:

Research Fellow on the Leverhulme Trust-funded project Vernacular mathematics
in the Italian dialects: a history 
Grade 7: £34,308- £42,155 per annum
Fixed term for 17 months

The Faculty of Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics at the University of
Oxford is seeking to employ a Research Fellow to work on the Leverhulme
Trust-funded project Vernacular mathematics in the Italian dialects: a
history, directed by Professor Martin Maiden, with effect from 1 March 2023 or
as soon as possible thereafter, for a period of seventeen months until the end
of the project. This appointment follows the departure of the current Research
Fellow to other employment. Details of the project may be found at
https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/research-project-grants/vernacular-mathematics-it
alian-dialects-history

Briefly, the project examines the shaping of the language of vernacular
mathematics in Italy between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries,
exploring how the transfer of knowledge between registers, dialects, languages
and cultures came about by linguistic means.

The successful candidate will provide evidence of excellent knowledge of the
history of the Italian language and of the Italian dialects, and of the
general principles of language change. They will be able to undertake
linguistic and philological analysis of a corpus of manuscript texts from the
relevant historical period, with a particular view to co-authoring with
Professor Maiden one or more research articles on the lexicon of geometry and
algebra and on mathematical rhetoric as well as a critical edition and
linguistic and philological analysis of a book based on a northern Italian
abbaco text (The Language of Practical Mathematics in Renaissance Italy: A
Fifteenth Century Vernacular Didactic Treatise), already provisionally
accepted for publication.
