The Graduate School of Ancient Philosophy (http://www.gsap.hu-berlin.de)
at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (http://www.hu-berlin.de) is
pleased to offer two fellowships for doctoral study in Ancient Philosophy.
The fellowships accord to the standards of the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) such that they will cover living expenses
for three years. They are for full-time study only. There are no tuition
fees, but there are low administrative fees amounting to ca. 250-300
Euros per semester (which also cover free public transportation in Berlin).
The Graduate School of Ancient Philosophy
The GSAP provides a structured doctoral program in ancient philosophy
(in English and German). The three-year program leads to the doctoral
degree in Philosophy or Classics. It includes colloquia, dissertation
seminars, reading groups, tutorial supervision, international workshops,
and intensive short courses. The program culminates in the writing of a
doctoral dissertation (in English or German).
The School’s core faculty:
- Prof. Jonathan Beere
- Prof. Christoph Helmig
- Prof. Stephen Menn
- Prof. Philip van der Eijk
- Dr. Jacob Rosen
The School is embedded in a lively community of scholars and
institutions (like the Excellence Cluster Topoi) all devoted to ancient
studies.
The Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN)
Students of the program are automatically part of the international
Ancient Philosophy & Science Network (APSN) initiated by the Graduate
School. The APSN involves collaboration with five international partner
institutions in the field of ancient philosophy and science:
- University of Chicago (Philosophy and Classics)
- University of Leuven (Philosophy, De Wulf-Mansioncentre)
- Princeton University (Philosophy and Classics)
- University of Toronto (Philosophy and Classics)
- University of Cambridge (History and Philosophy of Science)
Each candidate will have the opportunity to visit the partner
departments, participate in (joint) conferences, or workshops, etc. Thus
every PhD student at the GSAP will become a member of a vibrant
international community of excellent PhD students and scholars. For more
