About this position

Postdoctoral position in Modern Greek Studies at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria.

The project, “Alternative Hellenisms: Religion, Language and Identity in Frangochiotika Documents”, studies Greek-language texts written in Latin script and produced mainly by Catholic communities in the early modern and modern Eastern Mediterranean (16th–20th centuries). The work combines history, philology, linguistics, digital humanities, and textual editing, with a focus on building a digital corpus and edition.

The postdoc will contribute to digitization quality control, TEI P5 transcription guidelines, historical and philological analysis, micro-level analysis of vernacular piety and community life, and computational text analysis. The role also includes co-supervising student assistants, co-organizing workshops and conferences, and producing a major study on the phonology and morphology of the Modern Greek vernacular plus two co-authored peer-reviewed articles.

Eligibility highlights: PhD or equivalent in Modern Greek Studies, History, Philology, Linguistics, Literary Studies, or a closely related field; strong expertise in Modern Greek literature and textual production; excellent/native-level Modern Greek (C1-C2) including historical varieties; strong manuscript and print-source skills; fluent English. Helpful extras include Ottoman/Eastern Mediterranean background, transcription/transliteration experience, and TEI/XML or corpus-development skills.

Funding: 75% part-time appointment for up to 2 years. The minimum annual gross salary is EUR 70,167.44 full-time equivalent, paid pro rata.

Deadline: 24 September 2026, 23:55 (Europe/Brussels).
