The Institut supérieur de Philosophie (UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve,

The Fellow will be integrated in the project "Commentaries on Avicenna's /Qasidat al-nafs/", under the direction of Prof. Cécile Bonmariage. This project is part of the broader project "Avicenna East and West", and aims at studying the commentaries on the /Poem of the soul/ by Avicenna, both individually and in a diachronic approach.
The Fellow is expected to contribute to the project and conduct independent research. No teaching duty is attached to this Fellowship.
The Fellowship offers a stipend of approximately €2000 a month, plus some support for research.

Preference will be given to candidates with expertise in pre-Modern Islamic intellectual history and/or edition of texts.
Applicants must meet the requirements of international mobility (i.e. no more than 24 months residency and/or principal activity in the last 3 years in Belgium).
