Employing more than 8,000 people, it is actively involved in education and research, management and administration, as well as technical and social service provision on a daily basis. It is one of the largest, most exciting employers in the area and offers great career opportunities. With its 11 faculties and more than 80 departments offering state-of-the-art study programmes grounded in research in a wide range of academic fields, Ghent University is a logical choice for its staff and students.

**YOUR ROLE AND TASKS**

As a post-doctoral researcher at Ghent University, you will join the ERC-Starting Grant project ‘Islamic Endowments (Waqf) and State Formation in the Ottoman Empire, 1450-1650 (OTTOWAQF)’, under the leadership of the principal investigator, Professor Christopher Markiewicz.

The OTTOWAQF project investigates how pious endowments shaped state-building in the Ottoman Empire during a critical period between 1450 and 1650. Endowments were the most widespread and powerful social institutions within the empire, yet our current understanding of their role in Ottoman state formation marginalizes their significance. OTTOWAQF seeks to place endowments back squarely within the frame of Ottoman political power by showing how endowments shaped and constrained state-building. We will focus on how sultans and their agents used endowments to advance state objectives, while other social actors, including notable provincial families, Muslim scholars, monastic Christian communities, and endowment functionaries, used them to preserve their wealth and social positions in the empire between 1450 and 1650. To realize this goal, the project will undertake a comprehensive empire-wide analysis of how pious endowments evolved over time through examination of endowment deeds (vakfiye, singular), accounting registers (muhasebe defterleri), and judicial court registers (mahkeme sicil defterleri), as well as other archival materials and narrative sources.

We invite proposals for post-doctoral research subprojects that fit within the wider context of the OTTOWAQF project. Such proposals can focus on any aspect of endowments within the broad remit of the OTTOWAQF project, yet in all cases they should address a particular aspect of the relationship between endowments and the Ottoman state. Such proposals may include (but are not limited to) the following: the social power in the provinces of Turkmen princely families and/or Balkan marcher lords, the relationship between scholarly families and endowments in Egypt and Syria, and the role endowments and royal women in Ottoman dynastic politics, among other topics.

At least 70% of your assignment will be spent on academic research.

Your tasks will include:

- Designing and conducting your own academic research;
- Defining and executing a project of your own design related to endowments and the state in the Ottoman Empire between 1450 and 1650, in line with the broader objectives of the OTTOWAQF research project
- Completing a monograph for submission to a publisher and at least one research article in a peer-reviewed journal;
- Analyzing source materials relevant to the OTTOWAQF research project for inclusion in the project database;
- Attending regular in-person team meetings
- Collaborating with the other post-doctoral fellow in the organization of one international conference; Disseminating your research through participation in international workshops and conferences.
