Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin Apply by 20 January 2014 for the - three-year doctoral program in ancient philosophy or - one year of pre-doctoral studies The Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy (gsap.hu-berlin.de) at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (hu-berlin.de) is pleased to offer fellowships for doctoral studies in Ancient Philosophy and Science. We especially welcome proposals addressing the dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy and science. Two fellowships are reserved for non-German applicants because they are funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The fellowships cover the living costs at Berlin and are for full-time study only. There are no tuition fees, but there are low administrative fees amounting to ca. 250-300 Euros per semester (which include a ticket for public transportation in Berlin). Students may also apply for a funded pre-doctoral year of studies. Typical candidates for this option are students who need one year of preparation before beginning their dissertation, for instance candidates who hold a BA but not an MA in philosophy or classics. The Graduate Program in Ancient Philosophy The three-year program leads to the doctoral degree in Philosophy or Classics. It includes colloquia, dissertation seminars, reading groups, international workshops, and intensive short courses. The program centers on the writing of a doctoral dissertation (in English or German). The language of instruction is English. As part of the Berlin Graduate Program of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS), the program is embedded in a lively community of scholars and institutions (such as the Excellence Cluster Topoi) all devoted to ancient studies. BerGSAS offers structured programs of doctoral studies and involves the participation of the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin, the Freie Universitaet Berlin and a number of non-university research institutions. The international Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) Students of the program are automatically part of the international Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) founded by the Graduate Program. Its international partners are among the foremost departments in the world for ancient and late ancient philosophy and science. Applications The closing date for applications for the fellowships is 20 January 2014. Interviews will be held in Berlin during the first week of March.
