Dear Colleagues,

Please feel free to circulate the informal call below. Best regards,

Tamas Biro

Doctoral scholarship

We have a possibility to hire one or two doctoral students, and possibly 
also a postdoc within the project Modelling Religious Mental 
Representations (https://mrmr.elte.hu/, PI: Tamas Biro). The project 
aims at developing the "data structures" necessary for an adequate 
description of religious phenomena, including but not restricted to 
rituals. It is located at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, 
Hungary, and it is financed by the National Research, Development, and 
Innovation Office (NRDIO, or NKFIH in Hungarian).

Subprojects to be covered by a doctoral student or postdoctoral 
researcher should (a) either cover historical and/or contemporary data 
collection and analysis pertaining to a specific religious tradition 
(such as one of the Abrahamic religions); or (b) engage with the 
development of a formal, computationally implementable model (e.g., 
employing Optimality Theory).

Preference will be given to candidates (a) with prior knowledge in a 
specific religious tradition, including familiarity with the sources and 
the necessary languages, and/or experience with fieldwork; (b) a 
background in programming and formal models in any field in the 
cognitive sciences or linguistics.

Informal expressions of interest should reach Tamas Biro 
(biro.tamas at btk.elte.hu) by April 28, 2026. Doctoral applicants will 
have to submit a formal application by May 8 to the doctoral school of 
ELTE University.
