The University of Chicago’s Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures invites applications for a two-year Postdoctoral Scholar position in Hittitology at the Chicago Hittite Dictionary (CHD). The Scholar will contribute to the research, curation, and publication of the CHD. Working closely with the dictionary’s editors, the postdoctoral researcher will conduct lexical research, prepare first drafts of lexical entries, and undertake additional editorial work. The position offers an opportunity to advance scholarship on the Hittite language and the cultures of ancient West Asia through sustained philological and lexicographic research. The successful researcher will participate in the intellectual life of ISAC, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, and the wider University of Chicago community. The appointment has no teaching commitment, allowing the Scholar to focus on research and publications connected with the Chicago Hittite Dictionary.
