Job offers in a new research institute in Heidelberg/Germany

Dear colleagues and friends,
the University of Heidelberg has received a financial support of 40 Million Euros for the establishment of a new research institute, called which is dealing with a major project called "Asia and Europe in a Global Context: Shifting Asymmetries in Cultural Flows".

I quote the self-description:
"The objective of the Cluster is to examine processes of cultural exchange with a strong focus on interdisciplinary research. Established in October 2007 in cooperation with renowned international institutions, the Cluster provides excellent academic facilities and prospects especially for young scholars. The aim of the Cluster is to analyse shifting asymmetries in cultural flows. The nongeographical use of both Asia and Europe and the concept of cultural flows are key elements of innovative theoretical debates on cultural exchange from the Bronze Age up to the present."
