The Warburg Institute is seeking a Research Assistant (full-time, 36 months) to conduct research on the project “Writing Bilingually, 1465-1700: Self-Translated Books in Italy and France” (Principal Investigator: Dr Sara Miglietti). Candidates must have a PhD in hand by the start of the project, in a field relevant to its remit (such as Italian Studies, Renaissance Studies, History, Classics).

The successful candidate will be part of a research team assisting Dr Miglietti in establishing a database of prose self-translations printed in Italy and France between 1465 and 1700. You will focus primarily on the Italian side of the project, working mainly, but not exclusively, with materials printed in Latin and Italian. You will further contribute to the project’s outputs by authoring peer-reviewed articles (at least two) on selected aspects of the corpus, and by co-authoring other outputs with Dr Miglietti, including an annotated repertory of printed self-translations and an anthology of primary sources in translation.

The contract runs from 4 January 2023 – 3 January 2026 with the pay spread across the period in equal monthly amounts. For more information, please visit: https://warburg.sas.ac.uk/news/job-opportunity-post-doctoral-researcher
