Ph.D. Scholarship in Louvain-la-Neuve

Matthieu Richelle has posted on Agade a call for applications for a Ph.D. scholarship at the The Catholic University in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium). It sounds like an exciting opportunity to work on interesting textual problems with an excellent scholar!

Call for applications : PhD scholarship in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible

The Catholic University in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) invites applications for a two-year (renewable once) doctoral scholarship starting in Fall/Winter 2020.


This FSR Seedfund fellowship will be ascribed to a student writing a PhD dissertation, in English or in French, under the supervision of Matthieu Richelle, professor in the Faculty of Theology and member of the RSCS Institute.


This dissertation will be based on a research project concerning the so-called Miscellanies: two passages in the Books of Kings that are proper to the Septuagint (3 Kingdoms 2,35a-k et 46a-k). They contain some material that appears elsewhere in Kings, interspersed between 1 Kgs 5,2 and 1 Kgs 11,27. But they also include information without any parallel. The main objective of the dissertation is to shed light on the origins of the Miscellanies thanks to a methodology that combines diachronic and synchronic methods: textual and compositional analysis on the one hand; structural and narrative criticisms on the other.


For further details about the research project, the starting date of the scholarship, and financial aspects, please contact Matthieu Richelle (matt_richelle@yahoo.fr).

How to apply ?
Send a CV, a cover letter (1-2 pages) and a letter of recommendation to Matthieu Richelle (matt_richelle@yahoo.fr) by 15 July 2020.
