Provider: LabEx DynamiTe
Country to Study in: France
Position Description
LabEx DynamiTe announces Post-doctoral positions on “River ports of Egypt and the Near East”.
Although the territories of both Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia were modelled by major rivers (the Nile in the case of Egypt, and the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia), no systematic research study has ever been carried out on one of the main features that enabled their operative use, i.e. the ports.
The aim of the research programme is to understand how the river ports constructed these ancient spaces based on a multiscale approach.
French and international researchers can apply for this postdoctoral position.
Eligibility
The candidate must:
- hold a doctorate in the history or archaeology of the ancient Near East or Egyptology;
- have a knowledge of the topic based on his or her doctoral studies or experience;
- have a knowledge of the scientific references and debates surrounding these topics within both his or her own discipline and other disciplines;
- be completely fluent in French and English: a good knowledge of German would be an advantage;
- be able to work in a pluridisciplinary team.
Citizens of ANY country may apply (INCLUDING France)
Participating Institutions
ArScAn – Maison Archéologie et Ethnologie René-Ginouvès, 21, allée de l’Université – 92023 Nanterre
Fields of study
Postdoctoral level research on the “River ports of Egypt and the Near East”.

The tasks of the appointed post-doctoral researcher will include:
- analysis of the port location strategy; and
- the study of the integration of the port zone into the urban fabric and its hold on the urban territory.
