The ERC-funded project PECUNIA (https://pecunia.huma-num.fr/) is inviting applications for a 3-year doctoral contract to investigate public wealth in the cities of Roman Asia Minor (27 BC-AD 235). 

As a member of PECUNIA and the Laboratoire Orient & Méditerranée research department (https://www.orient-mediterranee.com/, UMR 8167), the doctoral candidate will be based in Paris. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the Principal Investigator of the project, Anne-Valérie Pont, and their degree will be delivered by Sorbonne Université. He/She will also be enrolled in the Ecole Doctorale Mondes antiques et médiévaux (https://lettres.sorbonne-universite.fr/ecoles-doctorales/mondes-antiques-et-medievaux) and benefit from its academic environment.

The doctoral candidate will investigate the public revenues available for the financing of civic life in the cities of Asia Minor. See further details in the attachement.

The doctoral student will join an existing interdisciplinary team of international researchers with whom they will work regularly. The successful candidate will be expected to complete their doctoral thesis (language to be determined in the contract, also depending on joint supervision of the thesis) within three years, to communicate their results widely to academic and non-academic audiences, and to take part in the events convened by the team (see previous ones here: https://pecunia.huma-num.fr/news/).
