About this position
The Understanding Written Artefacts doctoral programme is offered at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC), University of Hamburg, in cooperation with DESY and Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg). It examines handwriting and other written artefacts as a key cultural technique from a global perspective, bringing together expertise from the humanities, the natural sciences, and computer science.
Doctoral researchers work in an interdisciplinary environment that connects research on manuscripts and written materials with computational and analytical approaches. The programme spans a wide range of participating disciplines, including computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, archaeology, history-related fields, linguistics, and area studies, reflecting the broad methods and questions used to study written artefacts.
Research is organised into thematic Project Groups and Concept and Method Units that structure the programme’s scholarly life. These include areas such as turning rock into pixels, writing in colours, seeing inside written artefacts in 3D, parchment panomics, gleaming words, multigraphic written artefacts, materiality and textual transmission, and digital twins. The programme also offers structured research and supervision, training, mentoring, and career support within the research centre and the wider university environment.
The setting at CSMC is designed for students interested in manuscript cultures, material evidence, and the study of writing across disciplines, with English as the language of teaching and research activities.
