MANTRAMS JOB OPPORTUNITY...
We're pleased to share this job listing for a post-doctoral researcher on mantras and early yoga in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Oxford. As described in the detailed job description, preference will be given to candidates working on texts and traditions from the first millennium CE where mantras are centrally important to the construction of yoga, especially in relation to the Upaniṣads, the Epics and Purāṇas, Pāśupata asceticism, Śaivism, and/or Tantrism. Themes of particular relevance to the project include seed syllables (bījas), the yogic body, and mantra meditation. Proposals related to later texts and traditions (e.g., Haṭha Yoga, Yoga Upaniṣads) may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The deadline for applications is noon on March 10, 2025. Please address any queries to finn.mooregerety@ames.ox.ac.uk
