The Heidelberg Research Laboratory for the Ancient Near East is aimed at motivated and committed young academics who have successfully started to explore the breadth of the field of Ancient Near Eastern Studies. Learning from and with one another is a key component of the Heidelberg Research Laboratory for the Ancient Near East. Hence, enthusiastic participants are sought who display not only good competencies in cuneiform, Sumerian, and Akkadian, but will also enrich the Heidelberg Research Laboratory for the Ancient Near East by means of their analytical faculties, aptitude for academic thinking, and capacity for critical reflection. The programme’s primary target groups are doctoral students and recent postdocs. This notwithstanding, talented students about to complete a Master’s degree are also welcome to apply.
