The Board of Management for the Kennicott and Pusey and Ellerton Fund proposes to elect to the Kennicott Hebrew Fellowship, tenable from 12 October 2008 for two years, with the possibility of renewal thereafter for one further year. The value of the Fellowship shall initially be up to £19,263, dependant on the candidate's other sources of income. Candidates will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of Hebrew, will have successfully completed a doctorate or will be in the process of doing so, and will have research interests in the Classical Hebrew language, literature, history, or archaeology, or the cognate Semitic languages, so far as they illustrate Hebrew.
The terms of the trust fund stipulate that certain conditions must be attached to this appointment, so it is essential that interested applicants obtain a copy of the further particulars before submitting an application. These should be obtained by writing to the Secretary to the Board of Management for the Kennicott and Pusey and Ellerton Funds, the Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford, OX1 2LE, or by consulting the Oriental Studies website at http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/general/grants.shtml. The deadline for applications is Friday, 20 June 2008 and it is expected that interviews will be held on 16 July 2008.
