What we would expect:

The retrospective and relational construct "tradition" is important in the religious field and in Religious Studies in terms of e.g. identifiablity, adaptability, translatability, comparability etc. of religions. We invite projects focusing on any period from ancient to contemporary, which address aspects of encounter, conceptual construction and historical reconstruction, mutual exchange, formation and transformation of religious traditions in comparative case studies and/or from systematic perspectives.

Applicants must at least hold a Ph.D. The Ruhr University Bochum is an equal opportunity employer and encourages women and members of minorities to apply.

Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, a current CV including a list of publications, and an exposé of the intended research of about 5 pages. Application materials should be submitted by e-mail. Please send your application before March 15th, 2014 to Lucia an der Brügge (lucia.anderbruegge@rub.de).
