After a bruising year on the job market, I am happy to share that I'll be moving to Vienna in January to begin a postdoc position with the ERC funded project @tibschol - The Dawn of Tibetan Buddhist Scholasticism (11th-13th c.), hosted @oeaw's IKGA and headed up by Pascale Hugon.

[Michael Ium @michael_ium]

@tibschol @oeaw Sincere thanks to all the friends, colleagues, and mentors who have supported me along the way. Looking forward to contributing to this fascinating project and working with a great team as we explore some early Kadampa literature!
