Fellowships will be offered in connection with Professor A H Sommerstein's research
project on "The Oath in Archaic and Classical Greece", funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
The main responsibility of the successful candidates will be to assist in the
implementation of this project, which is centred on the creation of a database
comprising all references to oaths and swearing in texts dating from, or referring to,

the database, the successful candidates will be expected to do analytical and
interpretative work on the material, produce conference papers, and publish articles.

in the database.

week, at the invitation of the Head of the Department of Classics and with the consent
of the project director.

Candidates must be able to work with electronic databases, but expertise in the
technique of creating them is not a requirement.  It is expected that one of the
successful candidates will have had substantial experience in the study and
interpretation of epigraphic texts, and the other in that of literary texts.

Salary will be within the range £18,893 - £21,010 per annum, depending on
qualifications and experience.  These posts are available from 1 September 2004 and will
be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of three years.
