Laboratoire HiSoMA Grant

Laboratoire HiSoMA specializes in the study and edition of ancient sources, approached through the sciences of Antiquity such as archaeology, history, literature, linguistics, philology, patristics, epigraphy, numismatics, over a very long period, from the Old Pharaonic Empire to Late Antiquity or even, for certain programs, to the early Middle Ages. Its area of expertise extends over a geographical area which corresponds to the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean, from Gaul to Egypt and the Levant, up to the Indian subcontinent.

The HiSoMA Fellowship is intended to finance a one‐month research stay in Lyon for the elected student. The stay is fixed in March of each year. The host institution will cover travel and accommodation expenses up to a maximum of 1200 Euros, as well as a lump sum of 600 € for meals. Applicants must propose a research project in line with HiSoMAʹs programs:

• Area A: Knowledge, standards and doctrines
• Area B: Ancient cultures and temporalities: performance, memory, reception
• Area C: Spaces, cities and societies
• Area D: Editing sources and textual corpora

Eligibility

The HiSoMA grant is open to international doctoral and post‐doctoral students (up to 5 years after PhD), who have never been attached to a French institution nor have any present affiliation or link to a French institution or university.
