About this position

This postdoctoral position is part of the ANR-funded AGAIA project at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon and its research department IHRIM. The project investigates how Ancient Greek texts and their French translations can be semantically aligned in order to study the reception of Greek literature in French writing, with particular attention to intertextual phenomena.

The successful candidate will contribute directly to the construction of the project’s research corpora. The work centres on the compilation, transcription, and philological preparation of Greek and French materials, including the digitization and processing of printed and manuscript sources. A key part of the role is the use of automatic text recognition methods for heritage documents, combining HTR/OCR workflows with the structuring of the resulting data for research use.

The post is embedded in an interdisciplinary environment that brings together philology, digital methods, and computational language technologies. The appointed researcher will work closely with the project’s principal investigator and with a second postdoctoral researcher focused on natural language processing and artificial intelligence, making this a collaborative role at the intersection of Greek studies and digital humanities.
